In Orlando

June 5 2018

Chris flew from Stuttgart to Frankfurt, then from Frankfurt to Orlando. She took this picture of her jet.

Flight connections, takeoffs and landings were all perfect. Then she hit the Immigration Service in Orlando. Eight officers, 400 people arriving on the flight. I was waiting on the other side of the process, watching group after group exit from the shuttle train. No Chris. I made friends with fellow waiters. We told each other amusing travel stories. And waited.

Two hours after the plane landed, Christina finally arrived in the main terminal. We caught a cab to my house and had a light snack before bed.
