Here we are: Day 5. Lindsay and I spent the night on the floor of Terminal 2. Delta (bless its little heart!) provided us with blankets, pillows, snacks and drinks. It was the least they could do.
We actually slept for about 9 hours, ignoring the early morning crowds that stepped over us as they made their way to their gates.
When I finally woke up, the sun was shining and the sky was clear. How promising! None of the clouds, fog and rain that had plagued us for the past 4 days. I practically skipped to the bathroom for my daily morning routine: deodorant applying, face washing and teeth brushing... in the luxurious ladies restroom.
Finally, Lindsay and I headed to Terminal 1 to check in for our Lufthansa flight. We purchased our last over-priced meal and checked in. When the Lufthansa employee handed us our boarding passes, it felt like we had just won a million dollars. My eyes actually brimmed with tears.
Now we're sitting at the gate, just waiting our final 3 hours in an airport. Hooray! We're finally going to see the outside world again. Nothing can bother me now!
Not even the fact that Delta may or may not have lost our luggage.
