We arrived at the Frankfurt Hilton around noon, feeling somewhat lost and more than a little tired. I puttered around the room for a little while before deciding to crash. Well, my body decided that for me.

I’ve never been to Europe before – I’ve never been pushed nine hours into the future, either. It’s about 4AM in Frankfurt at the present moment, which is roughly 7PM in Seattle. That’s quite a difference. If this isn’t jet lag, I don’t know what is.

I wish we could have explored the general area this afternoon. It’s going to be pretty busy over the next couple of days. There are so many sights and sounds to experience; I’m truly happy to be here.

Ponzi and I may have to float to another city when the IAA officially begins, by the way – and your suggestions are welcome.
