We have arrived in Beograd

Well, after much flying we are finally safe at the Hotel N in Beograd. We had a huge delay getting out of GR and landed in Chicago about the time we were supposed to take off. I told Parker that this never happens but we walked out of our gate and the Munich flight was right next door. They hand't started boarding yet so we were in good shape. As we stood in the back of the line to board an extremely nice lady admired our model boxes and then asked us to follow her. She escorted us to the front of the line and we were first to board...unbelievable! We landed in Munich on time and also in Beograd on time, all of our bags made it right with us and we made our way through customs with no issues. Again, just curious people about our model boxes. We were glad we put a photo of Parker flying one on top of the box because this would have been difficult to explain otherwise. The next order of business was to exchange our money for Serbian Dinar and negotiate a cab ride to the hotel. The other team members said we got a good rate on the cab fare. Tomorrow is a practice day for the Drocal Cup which will preceed the World Champs next week.
