Day 1 - Stop in Frankfurt

Getting out of Dodge is never easy.  Mom's apartment in Florida, which has been on the market for a few years and experiencing delay after delay, was finally closing.  My signature was needed as one of the trustees. I found out about this on Monday at 4pm, and we were leaving Tuesday.  Frantic emails later, I got the paperwork and got it notarized (thanks, Susan) and back out for overnight posting to the attorney in Florida.  Now we can be out from under that mess.

Then as I got home to pack up the car, I discovered my credit card was missing. Probably left at a restaurant a few days before, but still had to make the phone call to cancel and get a new card.  I'll deal with the auto-charges when I get home.

Next annoyance:  the charger for the mini-computer we we supposed to take was gone.  This was noted on Saturday, and we duly went to Amazon to have one shipped along with a new battery. Extra charge for overnight delivery for Monday.  Monday came and went with no delivery. The tracking software told us it was in Beltsville.  An hour before we were supposed to leave, I tried again and it was "on the truck" for delivery.  I even tracked down the post office and tried to find the carrier's cell number to meet him somewhere, but no luck.  It was nicely at home after Jill got back from driving us to the airport.  I'll see how much can be done on the iPad...

So now waiting in Frankfurt for the next plane to Vilna.
