Day 8 - Homeward Bound! also titled A Day of "Lasts"

Our day began this morning before most of yours ended last night. We were up by 5 am (10 pm at home) in order to head to the airport in Munich. After our last European breakfast, we got on the bus for the last time to head to the airport. After a long and rainy drive, we got to the airport and got through security more quickly than I expected we would. After an hour or so of waiting, we boarded our flight back home! A 10 hour flight from Munich to Atlanta. Some of us slept. Some of us enjoyed the entertainment system. Some of us did both. Jeff and Phillip watched five movies each (we don't need no stinkin' sleep!). After a long, arduous flight, we finally made it back to the good ol' USA, "the land of the cell service and the home of the air conditioning" (I think that line is ver batem in some patriotic song somewhere...). Customs took a little while, but we all made it through and got our luggage to  head home!!! We were all still full from the plentiful meals on the plane, so we didn't stop for dinner, but came straight home, and got home about two hours ahead of schedule! All the boys are with their parents now, and they and the chaperones are headed home. Jeff and Phillip most likely will be good for nothing for the next 12-16 hours, so........ 

What a wonderful trip! This truly was an amazing experience for all of us. Well done boys!

Pictures from the last few days hopefully will come soon.
