This trip got put together when Tom decided he wanted to go to Heidelberg, Germany while we were on our layover in Wiesbaden. We wound up with a group of 6, Tom and I representing the cockpit and James, Christal, Missy and Naomi representing the cabin. We headed out of the hotel in the morning to the train station. Tom got us a great group rate on some tickets for a 10:30 train at about 10:29. Needless to say, we missed the train and had to wait another hour. We took the opportunity to take some pictures using James's new portable tripod. This nifty piece of engineering became the star of our show for the day. In addition to occasionally holding the camera, it appeared in many of the pictures, posing as some kind of intergalactic communication antenna.
Just before we got off the train in Heidelberg, a girl walked up to Tom and said "Didn't I see you in Brussels last month?" Turns out she was an Air Transat flight attendant named Blanca and had remembered Tom from their layovers last month in Brussels. Small world eh? Even weirder, she was traveling with her mother, whose husband's mother lives in Fresno. So there we were, a crew of Americans in Germany running into a Venezuelan Canadian who met one of our pilots on a previous layover in Belgium who's mother's husband's mother lives in Fresno. Did ya catch that?
