Our flight to Poland was as follows:
San Francisco > London > Copenhagen > Gdansk
Emilia's family and some friends, who have chosen to remain anonymous (you know who you are) came to the airport to see us off. A gracious gift from a dear friend left my head with a cushiony surprise for the long journey.
Our first flight was not without some excitement. Due to the addition of some new body scanning technology at the airport, we were left with 8 minutes until our flight left. Emilia took off like Usain Bolt toward the Gate. "Passengers Emilia and Scott, last call, Emilia and Scott." We ran as fast as we could, dove under the closing plane doors, and ended up safely in our seats gasping for air. Count it!
After grandma (babcia) greeted us at the airport in Gdansk, we knew our extended vacation had truly begun. Warmed up with homemade chicken noodle soup, we fell into an endless sleeping coma. In the next month, we plan on spending quality time with babcia, aunts and friends as well as daily trips to the bakery for fresh bread to have along with our Nescafe coffees.
Here is a picture of our first day in the city center with Mila's childhood best friend Karolina.
