We have arrived in CPH and the Marriott is definitely a first class hotel. The rest of the family is well into their jet lag nap as I savor a Carlsberg and watch the Tour de France.

Smooth travels ... Paula and Oz went DFW-ORD-LHR-CPH on AAdvantage tickets ... Meredith and I went DFW-FRA-CPH on purchase tix, AND we received a complimentary upgrade to business class; when we hooked up with Paula and Oz, we simply asked them "how was YOUR food?"

Interesting twist to the "lost luggage" dilemma that some LCTers have faced recently. ALL of our luggage arrived, BUT when we got to the hotel we realized that Meredith's suitcase was not with us! The taxi driver had not loaded it and we had not supervised to make sure that all pieces were with us ... lesson learned! We raced back to CPH airport and the bag was not in sight, BUT it WAS in the airport police office. Meredith handled the situation MUCH beyond her 19 years (her extensive travels have taught her patience). So, all's well that ends well ... AND my credit cards have a bit of a balance left, which they would NOT if we had to outfit Meredith for the cruise via CPH stores!

After the luggage experience ... "one more Carlsberg!"

More soon.
