On the road again...

Woke up bright and early and had absolutely no snafu's getting to the airport on time.  Niecy was a few minutes behind me, but we both got checked in and were good to go.  First leg of our trip was from Phoenix to Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C.  At Dulles we had a couple of hours to kill and decided that we would need to have one last " burger fix" before we left the good old U S of A, so we ordered huge cheeseburgers from 5 Guys...mmmmmmmmmm good!  Next leg of journey was the longest - just over 8 hours to Vienna, Austria.  We had some good food, watched The Great and Powerful Oz, played a few games, TRIED to sleep a bit, tossed and turned a lot, and ultimately made it through the night.  There was an amazing FULL moon outside the window, following us and lighting the way. We landed in Vienna and had another short layover.  We stretched out on come comfy couches and awaited the final leg of our journey.  Our flight was finally called and we boarded for a short 95 minute flight from Vienna to Skopje.  We are almost to our destination!  Tired, (it is about 3 a.m. at home), Niecy and I, and ALL of our luggage arrive safe and sound in Skopje.  We're HERE!  We can't wait to go meet our host families!
