Journey to America
June 16
We woke up early in the morning on Saturday and headed to the airport. We checked in and got to the airplane in no time. After a 3 hour plane ride we arrived in Zurich, Switzerland. We got off the plane and looked at the gate/terminal on the screen. On the screen it displayed that our plane to Wash. DC was cancelled. We were shocked. We got through security and were told we were going to spend the night in Zurich. Our worst nightmare had come true. We had never had a cancelled flight and never even imagined it.
After picking up our bags, we went to the ticket office to purchase new tickets and explore different options of getting home. Most of the United flights were full. Finally in the end, we decided to take the 10 o'clock flight to New York to Houston and finally to Kansas City.
After all that time waiting in the airport, we took a 5-minute shuttle to the Hilton Hotel. We check-in and quickly ate lunch, then rested for about 30 minutes. We de\cided to go to town and tour around "Old Town" Zurich. We took a shuttle back to the airport, then a 15-minute train to Old Town Zurich. We visited St. Peter's Church, one of the oldest churches in Zurich, and visited Lake Zurich. We visited a store and bought tons of chocolate, icecream, swiss cheese, and coffee. We ate Movempick swiss chocolate icecream. All four of us shared 1 pint of icecream. We headed back to the hotel after a very long day and concluded our evening with wonderful, delicious food at the hotel.
