Actually, my parents managed to finish relatively on time, so we could leave around 6:50 am. Manuel's dad kindly drove us, or rather flew us, because we were already at Frankfurt Airport at 8:30 am. Of course, the worst part was waiting there: saying goodbye to my friend. After countless tears and hugs, we were already at the security check by 9:15 am. Unfortunately, I was singled out by the customs officer and was checked again separately. After a long wait and endless checking, I finally reached our gate with my parents around 9:45 am and was greeted by our plane, Airbus A380.

The flight itself went smoothly. However, the arrival in New York was a bit chaotic. We had to wait for about 1.5 hours before we were finally allowed to go to the customs counter for entry. My parents were glad that I played the role of interpreter because they wouldn't have understood much otherwise. The next difficulty was finding our suitcases: there were 5 baggage carousels in New York and unfortunately, none of them were labeled, so the search for our suitcases took some time. Oh, and then there was a minor communication problem with our pick-up service, so we didn't arrive at our accommodation until 4:30 pm.
