So, I finally made it to Germany! We all got back on the airplane late that evening, waited around forever, and finally took off for London. Once we got there, we all went to customer service and worked things out. I was hoping to catch an early flight to Stuttgart so that I'd meet up with my peers and coordinators on time, but I got in too late and had to take an afternoon flight, meaning I had like six hours to hang out in Heathrow. I kept running in to other people from the same diverted flight, so I ate lunch with some and talked to others for a while. It was a bit like all the movies about flights - after a while you really do get to know some of the personalities and you kind of automatically get along.
Anyway, I got in to Stuttgart, found out that another of the participants had been delayed and was waiting for me, took a super-expensive cab to Villingen, where we are staying for a few days for orientation. I'm here, baggage and all, and I'm okay. I'm happy enough to be able to say that.
I'm at an internet cafe, since I'm not with my host family yet, so I'm paying by the hour. It's been a while now, so I'd better go. Might be a while before I get back on.
