As we arrived in Germany and deplaned, there was a quick 1 minute complaint session about traveling in confined quarters for such a long time. In essence, we had a 12 hour flight, because in Chicago, we had precisely enough time to run to our gate and get on the next plane. These kids are troopers, after our 1 minute session was over, we truly moved on. Next was going through customs, and I think the agents had a good time with our group. Lots of smiles and nervous laughter, and a palpable excitement. While waiting for baggage, we talked about last minute stuff including a codeword for any strange feelings about their host families. No one used the code word, and pretty soon all were off with their new families.
