After a well needed “camping” adventure, I awoke to an unhappy Kim. She could not sleep and was very tired. I slept soundly – the sounds of my sleep reverberated around the gates!!! I later talked to a guy who said that he was woken by someone snoring loudly. I didn’t want to tell him that it was me!!!

We were supposed to meet some professors at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Cavity Eye is a Budapest company that has put one of their systems in our Plastics Lab. After talking with one of the company representatives, he invited us to the university and dinner tonight. We were excited to attend, but now it looks like it is not going to happen!!!!

Our original flight time for our new flight was 8:00 am. It got moved a few times and was finally set to 10:00. We finally boarded and waited for an hour on the plane until 11:00, then we were in the air!! I was joking that we would turn around after two and a half hours, but we didn’t!!

I had bought a new neck pillow, the FaceCradle. I liked the concept of it and decided to buy it before the trip. I was skeptical, but it looked like something I would use. It was the most comfortable I have been sleeping on a plane. It is not perfect, but way better that a standard neck pillow!

We arrived in Budapest at 1:00 am. By the time we got to our AirBnB, it was 2:30!!! Luckily the place had given up a video on how to get in or we would have been fumbling around trying to get in. It was hotter than H*!! inside, as there was no air conditioning. We were tired and appreciated laying down (no matter how hot it was) after nine (or more) hours on the plane!!!
