so my updates for this are going a couple of days behind. so bare with me i might catch up but i doubt it.
airport and day 1
after an excessive amount of hours at the airport/plane/standing in lines trying to rearrange things we arrived in denmark. 

but oh it was hell getting here. 

we arrived to salt lake airport for our 330 flight to chicago at 1. our flight had been delayed due to weather, although according to my handy iphone, the weather was perfect for our direct course. 
so they rerouted us to LA. that’s right, the opposite direction from our desired destination. we had to practically run to the airplane in order to catch the flight. once we arrived at LAX we had to exit and re-enter to get new boarding passes for our next flight. 
turns out the flight that the slc airport had rerouted us on, didn’t actually have room for us. so we stood in line for over an hour trying to arrange a way for us to fly on the flight. 
finally, after an excessive amount of unnecessary nonsense we had a spot on the plane. 
but we only had 40 minutes to go through security, get to the correct terminal, and use the restroom. it took us an hour and a half to do all that in salt lake. 
we ran! 
barely made it. the flight was a long one. really long. 
we flew from la to frankfurt germany. 
the bathroom trips were a little rough but we managed. i did get yelled at by a female flight attendant for doing absolutely nothing. what a witch! 
once we arrived in frankfurt we had one more connection to get to denmark. plus, we had to get one boarding pass. seeing as the last two airports were a disaster we stressing that this was going to be another rough time. but lord were we wrong. 
frankfurt has by far the BEST airport service i have ever encountered. from the time we stepped off one plane 'til we took flight on our departing plane we had assistance. 
no rush, no stress, as smooth as cutting butter with a hot knife. 
this flight was pretty short, but after long hours at the airport the long hours on the planes it seemed like ages to me for the flight to end. when we arrived in denmark it was finally time to go collect all our luggage. getting to the baggage reclaim was a nightmare. the directions we were given were just lousy and after we found the correct place the doors were broken so we couldn’t even get were we needed to be. 
so it was off to find another route. a very nice man assisted us to the baggage reclaim and helped us collect our luggage. turns out we were missing two. one happened to be my main suitcase which contained most of my belongings. so i took off to go report the missing luggage. the gentleman i spoke to was horribly rude. and when you have slept about 3 hours in the last 36 everything just amplifies. i was so angry and annoyed that i could have punched the man in the face! after an hour of trying to figure out all the information that was needed we were finally able to leave the airport and head to the hotel. help went out to see if our ride was there and was unable to re-enter due to security. so i was left with dona and elbert in their wheelchairs, two carts of luggage, six carry on bags, and a walker to get out in one shot. so i cheated i pushed them halfway out and help snuck in and took them. i was on my last cart of luggage and got stopped by security. some stupid bitch yelled in my face that what i was doing was against airport laws. i lost my temper considering the situation and told her that it is impossible for me to obey airport security laws when there is no assistance offered. i told the dumb lady that i had two people and wheelchairs and all the luggage. she told me to ask for help, which is useless when the help desk is past the point of no return. so i went back to dona and elbert and attempted to have elbert push the luggage cart while i pushed him and pulled dona’s chair from the front. the security woman just stood there watching me, didn’t even bother to offer assistance. a very nice couple saw me struggling and didn’t even ask they just started helping i couldn’t have thanked them enough. after a short drive we finally arrived at the hotel, checked in, and made it up to the room.  after about an hour and half of helping dona and el arrange things we were able to order some dinner and finally relax a little bit. after dinner i assisted them to bed and i finally got to go to sleep. 
this first day has been alright. i still feel a little tired but i don’t believe it is from jetlag as much as from how stressed i was. my body feels great but my head is just overworked. we have one more night in the hotel before we head to the pier tomorrow and hop on our ship. luckily they found my missing luggage and it will be delivered sometime tonight so the stress of not having anything is finally gone. i will actually have clean clothes and all my supplies, hooray!
