Lufthansa Airlines: Our Flight to Frankfurt Germany

Our check-in for the Thursday, 4 pm flight was a smidge complicated as I forgot to copy our Covid19 test paperwork.  Had to go to a nearby Hilton Hotel business center for our printing needs.  Done. 

 Felt slightly and uncomfortably  "famous" as one of the Lufthansa check-in clerks (doubling at gate check-in also) remembered my mini melt-down 😖😕 ("oh, you're THAT couple!").  Hope no one took a video 😃😁😑😀

Here is a note of relief from a Wheaton College parent on their son's flight home:

FYI ... the FAA has banned all Samsung Galaxy NOTE s7 phones... !!!  Our boy almost did not make it home but his s7 is not a NOTE phone, so once that was determined, they let him on right before take off!!! Whew!!!! Praise God!

 Justen recently celebrated his birthday, and one of his gifts was a 1-hour flying lesson on a single-engine plane.  The best part of it was being able to take two friends along as part of the deal.  That's where Jared and Micah come in --- Yesssss!

I was happy for Jared, but felt a slight pang of jealousy at this great opportunity.   Nevertheless, thank you, Lord!
