We've arrived...  It was a pretty long flight and I don't think any of us got any real good sleep on the plane.  We made our connecting flight in Portugal after a 6 hour flight, bought some energy drinks (at what would have been 2am in CT) and then got on the next plane which was a 3 hour flight.

Despite the lack of sleep I think we are all in pretty spirits but arriving at the hotel is needed right now for a little freshening up (and maybe a nap...).  Its 3:30pm here right now and our walk to the hotel showed that everyone is dressed for Oktoberfest.  It’s awesome!  I’m sure we'll have some better pictures when we go out later...

For now I'm in my tiny room and unlike Aaron, Cherie, Matt, and Vicki’s room I have to share a bathroom.   :(    It’s ok though.  It’s clean, and I’m only sharing with 3 other rooms.  Anyways, here's a quick picture of my tiny room.  We'll have some better pictures later for sure... (Not just hotel photos...)
