Whew! We’re exhausted! We left Antioch on Sunday at 3:00 pm when Melanie picked us up to take us to the BART station, with plans to spend the night at the Residence Inn near the airport. After dinner and a good night’s sleep we left the hotel at 9:00 Monday morning for our flight. We flew from San Francisco to New York to London to Copenhagen.
At JFK, Bill, Flat John & Flat Mary Ann check on our flight.
As you can see in the photo, our great traveling buddies, Flat Mary Ann and Flat John were once again able to join us. They were with us on our Australian trip in 2007 and proved to be such agreeable travel partners that we’re happy to have them with us again.
Okay, getting back to the “exhausted” part . . . we checked into our hotel in Copenhagen 23 hours after leaving SFO! We resisted the temptation to take a nap, knowing from past experience that the quickest way to adapt to the new time schedule is to adhere to it from the get-go. Contributing to our tiredness was the fact that we walked 8.71 miles from the time we left Antioch until we went to bed in Copenhagen.
We’re tired all over again because today we walked 10.93 miles all over Copenhagen. Tomorrow, we’ll write about today’s activities, but now I’m ready to get to bed! We are 9 hours ahead of Pacific time, and as I write this it’s almost 10:00 at night. Let me just say that we’ve had a really good start to our vacation!

Great job getting a post up right away! I am hoping the free internet at the library wasn't contributing to too many of those 10.something miles you walked! Can't wait for further updates (and postcards!) Love, the new Happy DMV Idiot
Hmm, I'm guessing you took your pedometer? :) Glad you are having a good time.
