Luggageless in Innsbruck

I'll preface this by saying that we do in fact now have our bags and all our belongings are intact. It honestly wasn't too much of an ordeal to not have our luggage for 2 days, but it was a little nerve-wracking, which is why I didn't tell anyone back home that we lost them (sorry mom!).

 We've made it to our second destination- Innsbruck. Well, we have made it to the airport. But currently, no further. And our bags did not make it with us. We are pretty sure we will get them this evening because there's another flight coming in from Frankfurt. Our layover was quite short in Frankfurt....and our flight in was a bit delayed, meaning Michael and I were those crazy people running through the airport.  And because it was Frankfurt, we were running through the airport, up and down stairs, around many corners, and finally on to a bus for whom we were the only passengers.  A nice Turkish bus driver special-delivered us to the very far away loading site of our tiny turboprop plane.  Along the way he regaled us with stories of when he drove Lady Gaga around the airport (she is short and has very big yellow hair) and Heidi Clune, who was supposedly visiting her husband. . Oh and snoop dogg. He's met snoop dogg. So that was cool. Our nice Turkish bus driver didn't have the best English but we rather enjoyed his tales. He also played some party tunes and told us to come back and find him when we get married (earlier he said to me "this time, friends. next time...married.") He got us to the plane just in time....and then there was another 10 minute delay because of weather, haha.The flight was short and a little bumpy but the scenery was beautiful, as it is here. Outside the airport (where we are waiting for a city bus) we are faced with snowcapped mountains, on top of which are luminescent clouds. The blue sky is peaking through in lots of places though and while it is a bit windy, it is a nice day to be walking around downtown. Which is the plan as soon as we can catch the bus to city central.

Im hoping the bags come tonight or tomorrow morning...otherwise Michael and I will be taking lots of pictures wearing our new Star Alliance tshirts, which were generously given by the lost and found desk here.
