This year will be a test. Is a longer journey to Germany worth paying a lot less? We hope it will be worth it. We were able to get a much better price flying out of LAX, even with adding a flight to LAX and getting a hotel room for one night. We began our journey from Will Rogers Airport at about 3:30 pm.
One of our campaigners, Abigail, left with us from OKC.
After a short stopover in Dallas (we stayed on our plane) we flew on to LAX. We arrived about 6:30 pm PST. From there we got a shuttle and made it to our hotel for the night.
After a night's rest, breakfast at the hotel and hanging out in our room until about noon, we headed back to the airport. Later, another campaigner, Ginna, flew in from Kentucky and met us there.

Ginna made it!
Later in the afternoon, our campaigner, Hope, met us at the airport. She drove in from the San Diego area.
That evening (Monday, May 29th) we were off to Dublin! By the time we made it to Dublin, it was Tuesday afternoon (Dublin time) and somewhere around 8 am Central time. It was a 10 hour flight. Thankfully the kids slept and everything went smoothly.
We had a few hour layover in Dublin before flying to Berlin. We arrived in Berlin about 9:30 pm (Germany time). Unfortunately it would have been very difficult to catch the last train that could get us to Chemnitz that night so we spent the night at a hotel and took a train the next morning, Wednesday, May 31st.
After all that...
For a trip that took us from Sunday, May 28th to Wednesday, May 31st to get to our end destination.... not sure if it's worth it to save the money.... ha ha. We might not want to do it that way again.
