#1, Days 0+1. Titled: 'I'm here, I'm safe. Tra-la.'
Alright, I've got here safely. And Tab "mucked up my first e-
mail, so I've lost it". End quote. Let's see... what had I
said...

I got an escort from the airline ("Will Kohler please speak
to a groundsperson whenever she feels like being saved from
getting lost in this maze of lines" Okay, maybe not a direct
quote... moving on.) becuase I was under 18 and traveling
alone. Cool.

So there were no catastrophes, excepting that a tub of
Marshmellow Fluff (ew) exploded/leaked in my backpack.
Luckily, it did not get anything but my cosmet bag and my
backpack itself! They both are in the wash.

The flight was very good, can't hear out of my left ear but
that's to be expected. Ooh- there were mad-nifty personal
screens for each seat, which was wonderful. I watched
Chicago (yes, that wonderful movie) and Catch Me If You Can.
Marvelous. I sat next to a very nice retired british
pharmicist named Gramme who was traveling with his wife,
Sheila, daughter, son-in-law, and grandaughter, the last
aged 4.

The Fungs have done up the room I'm staying in, looks very
spiffy indeed.

I didn't sleep a wink last night (which we will NOT blame on
stupendous personal screens, it IS due to fantasticly
bouyant nerve endings) and I plan to stay awake 'till 8
tonight, so that if I succeed, I will have gone 28 hours
without sleeping. New record! (For me)

I'd love to hear from you all! Write Back! Anyway, g2g,
dinner (lunch)-not fish and chips yet-

Love From Rachel

PS: I've forgotten stuff, can't remember what. Have already
gotten over it.

To Mom: Everyone says "thanks for the presents." Especially
Tab. And everyone sends their love. Me too. (And now you're
getting the e-mail)

To Shell: I saw Chicago a third time! Now we're tied! (I
think.)

To Kelly: They weren't playing How to Lose A Guy in 10 days.
(Cue sad music) The Fungs have almost as many DVDs as you
do. More even. Yep: more. WoW.

To Becky: Hope you're having fun in Germany! :)
