Day Zero

We've landed in Germany in one piece. Sure, Tim has a little cat poop on his pants (more on that later) but we arrived unscathed. Trip was pretty uneventful. Heather cried most of the way to the airport until Sally decided she needed to relieve herself in Tim's crotch. Flight was long, but just fine and the cats did not need sedating. We were a little concerned to go through customs because when Sally get's motion sickness, she drools all over herself and looks rabid. But, the bleary-eyed custom agent (it was 5:15am) just waved us through. So all the hundreds of dollars we spent on microchips, antibiotics, sedatives, vet visits, etc were rendered obsolete with one flick of the agent's wrist. NOT complaining though!
We got to our house about 8am and Claudia (our landlady's daughter) had it all set up for us. They are loaning us a bed, table and chairs, desk, dishes, towels, just about anything we could possibly want until our things arrive.
The only thing major that's missing right now is means of communication. We probably won't have internet for at least two weeks, and no telephone yet either. We'll be finding hotspots most days though, so e-mail will be great.
Miss you all already.
Love,
The Klaus Haus
