I was one kilo under-weight and I didn&#8217;t have to gate check my &#8220;hand luggage.&#8221;  You cannot imagine how much I&#8217;ve fretted over the bags.  The plane had a minor difficulty&#8230;they couldn&#8217;t get the door shut.  I thought we would all cry inside the plane.  Finally the announcement that the door had been repaired satisfactorily.   Thats nice.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m in the City Hotel Matyas, Budapest and it is almost 3 pm.   I am going to go get some Hungarian money and maybe shop a little.   A man sitting beside me as I people watched wanted to make a charcoal of my profile.   I didn&#8217;t have time but that would have been very memorable.   <\/p>\n<p>The hotel reception was very nice and great English.  I love it here, overlooking the Danube and I can see a castle up on the hill.   I&#8217;m laying on the bed typing right now.   It is really a great room too on the first floor and I have the wifi from the lobby.   Wish I could have stayed here for the other two nights.<\/p>\n<p>I will travel to Miskolc, Hungary tomorrow.   I will meet with the orphanage director and meet some foster parents and just see how things are there to establish our relationship and adoption presence in Hungary.  I&#8217;m very pleased to have been accredited to work here.<\/p>\n<p>I must go get some water to take my theraflu.   I will need money for that and to find a store.   Always an adventure!!!  More later tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was able to get on the flight.
