This is primarily Maggie’s blog, but I have her permission to throw a few of my thoughts in from time to time.

International travel

I’ve done a little international travel and each time I go I learn a little more about making it smoother. This time Michelle had 2 great ideas
1) use a travel agent to book all the flights. She got better flight times at the same cost with no stress on our part. This was especially true on this trip since we have 5 flight segments.
2) have a chauffeur waiting for us at the airport. With 4 of us there was almost no cost difference and the simplicity of just looking for your name rather than figuring out the train ticketing or dealing with the randomness of the taxi line was totally worth it.
