August 11 - 14 – Los Angeles and Travel to Croatia

We headed to Los Angeles on the 11th so that we could visit with Josh and Vanessa and our new little grandson before heading out to Europe.  We had a wonderful visit.  Our hotel was the airport Hilton.  And we had great views of the runway.  We could watch the planes take off and land.  Of course, we could also hear them take off and land but they didn’t disturb us too much at night.

We had a late checkout on Saturday as our flight doesn’t leave until late afternoon.  We are flying to Munich on Lufthansa.  Unfortunately, our flight was delayed by about 45 minutes and we are most concerned about catching our connection to Split. 

The other concern…the business class seat on Lufthansa turned out to be some of the most uncomfortable business class seats we have ever flown in.  Paul slept not at all and Mary maybe slept a small amount.  But it was still better than economy where we wouldn’t have been able to recline at all.

We arrived late in Munich and arrived at the gate for our flight to Spit with only about 5 minutes to spare.  At least we caught our flight. 

We arrived at the Split airport in the afternoon.  Unfortunately, our luggage didn’t make the tight connection.  Lufthansa sent us text message letting us know.  They also had a form to fill out to help them locate the luggage.  As we will be on the move a bit we are very concerned as to whether or not the luggage will ever catch up to us. 

Jim and Phyllis Bratt, our travel buddies, got to Split not long after we arrived.  Our hotel is just inside one of the city gates to the old town and has a lovely terrace.  We sat out there for quite a while and ended up having dinner there as well.  The weather is lovely.  We all went to bed pretty early as we all have jetlag.
