Solo Voyage

Friday we all headed out to Zurich and spent the night at Novotel Airport Hotel. Then early Saturday morning we took Brenna and Aubrey to the airport where they prepared for their first solo transatlantic flight.

Brenna had been nervous on Friday and was feeling a bit ill on top of that. She's basically the 'adult' on this trip and was feeling the responsibility piling up.. but Saturday morning she seemed confident and well. Aubrey was ecstatic.

Here's a shot of them going thru security check 1. Security nailed me for snapping the picture.

One last shot as they passed immigration in Zurich....no security guard nearby to shut my camera down!

So off they went with a sheet of paper with 100's of phone numbers, just in case, but it appears that all went well. I was able to reach Brenna's cell phone and she indicated that they cleared immigration and customs in Atlanta and was walking towards the terminal for their connecting flight to Denver. Pretty cool! I'm proud of them!

Once they get to Denver they'll have a busy week shuffling between old schoolmates, Grandma and Grandpa, and some shopping to stock up on Reeses Candy Bars and other essentials!

So Dedi and I are getting an early taste of the empty nest syndrome. I'll write more about this later.
