But the flight from Lexington to Detroit was smooth and a lightening storm blew through Detroit while we were saying morning prayers in the waiting lounge.

The food was good, excellent in fact, and free. They have little in-flight radar screens that show you where the plane is—so we both stayed awake most of the night watching our little plane crawl across the Atlantic. I do swear though, that it seems to get easier each time we travel. Even the problems seem less vexing.
