Norway Trip of a Lifetime: Dreaded Trip home...

So today is the dreaded travel home... I am honestly not ready to go home and could stay a bit longer! I know we will be back so I can look forward to that hopefully in the future. Our flight from Oslo is to leave at 10am which is 3am back home. We got up about 6:15am which would be 11:15 pm home time. EEk We wanted to have plenty of time to have breakfast and get over to the airport. I am someone who would rather be early and sit around than rush. We got through with no problems and were plenty early for our flight and just hung out and waited. Our plane took off on time which they do not mess around over here. When we flew from Bergen to Oslo also they were right on spot and did not miss a beat. We flew from Oslo to Frankfurt Germany and only had about an hour layover so once we arrived we didn't have much time. Frankfurt is a HUGE airport once we arrived we got off on the tarmac and took a bus to the main terminal. Our next segment was one I was not looking forward to as it was a 10 hr flight from Frankfurt to Denver. We flew on a 747 which was the biggest plane I have ever been on. We ended up sitting in the middle row which had 4 seats and there was also 2 side rows which held 3 among first class and an upper deck. The ride was LONG and I did not really sleep much. I watched about 3 movies and a couple documentaries. We got 2 meals, snacks, drinks and 2 sets of hot towels. We were to arrive in Denver around 3:35 and only had 1.5 hr layover which is NOT alot of time when you have to go through customs. By the time we got off the plane and were in line for customs it was already 4pm and we still had to claim our bag and recheck it and get to our gate. I told Jared we are going to have to RUN! We got through customs with no problems were able to get our bag and recheck it. Denver is also a big airport and of course the terminal we had to go to was clear on the other side. We also had to go through security again and then get on the tram to get to our terminal. We were in a little panic mode since it was already 4:30 and our flight was to leave at 4:58 and I am sure they were already loading. Our terminal was Z94 I had Jared run to the gate and let them know that we were still coming since I had a hard time running with my full backpack and carrying a bag. I finally arrived at the gate and the doors were already closed and the lady had already put 2 people on the plane in our place since we were not there. She did go get them off since we arrived but they were able to get back on since there was 2 extra seats. It was kind of a fiasco and she had to print us new boarding passes since the one we had was printed in Oslo and had all of our destinations on it but anyway we got on the plane. I was a sweaty mess from running and just glad to be on our way home. I told Jared I bet our bag does not make it to Fargo since we barely made our flight I doubt it will. Well we finally arrived in Fargo and guess what NO bad big surprise. There was no one at the airport anymore only the car rental people so we just got in a taxi and headed for home. We arrived home around 9pm and were exhausted!! What a long day. Thankfully Monday is Memorial Day so we both do not have to work. We had an awesome trip and I cannot wait to go back!!!
