Now I will tell you a bit about my christmas trip to Austin/ Texas. I was there to visit my sister. She is an Au pair and she's there nearly seven month. So I visited her on christmas and it was a wonderful time.
My flight was going on 24th of December in the morning. My first flight was from Berlin-Tegel to Frankfurt. I should stay there three hours, but it used to be five. It was horrible, because I haven't slept the nigth before.
After waiting five hours we started and it took us ten hours to arrive in Washington/ Dullas. Before I had three hours time to organize myself but after two hours delay I had only one hour in Washington.
I had to enter the USA with passportcontroll an I had to go through the customs with my luggage. After that I had half an hour to find the right gate but first I had to pass the securitycheck.
Through the half airport and I got to "my" gate. Called my mom and she called my sister to say her it's alright.
After a two and a half hour freezing cold flight I arrived at Austin Bergstrom.
Had to go nearly through the whole airpot, got to a stair, went downstairs and there she was. My 'lil sister, her hostdad and grandma and grandpa. The two of them arrived a half hour before me, so they have to wait.
All of them were very excited and all of them hugged me and were very friendly.
So we snached up my luggage and went to the big, big car of Tom. Secured all the luggage and set off. The ride took half an hour! It was nearly 22.30 on 24th of december.
Arrived at Woodland Hills Trail and got inside. Susan was waiting and she jumped of the couch and hugged her parents and me. she was very excited too.
Krissy and I had to go upstairs to get to her room. We had to wrap some presents for the next day and we had to put the candies in the stockings.
All in all we need a lot of time. Went to bed at one o'clock in the nigth. we had to get up at 07.30, because at eight should start the gift giving.
