A Flight and a Crash

Yay, went home from christmas! Hurray for home-made cookies and my Mum's cooking!
But no pain, no gain ... first I had to travel from Madison to Konstanz (approx. 8000 km).
Here's how it goes:
thanks to Jeet, I DID call Delta Airlines just to check, whether my iternary had changed. It DID have changed and they DID NOT tell me by themselves. Instead of 12 o'clock noon, my flight to Atlanta now departed at 6.50 am. I decided to stay up all night in an attempt to change my sleeping rhythm already before arriving to Germany.
So I got on the plane and kind of dozed away, when the pilot announced we were redirected to Cincinnatti because the planes anti-freezing system didn't function properly. Better save than sorry ...
After about 1.5 h in Cincinnatti we got onto another plan, that got us to Atlanta. There my waiting time for the connecting flight to Frankfurt was now only 2.5h, which I was not unhappy about.
Of course the plane to Frankfurt was completely booked out and OF COURSE I had a family with 2 small kids sitting behind me. The 3 year old daughter in the seat directly behind my was either on amphetamines or had drunk a whole can of coffee just before boarding. In any case, she was bouncing up an down on her seat, holding on to my backrest and also kicking the back of my seat. Her father contributed to the noise level by constantly trying to calm her down, but failing miserably. Sleeping? No way! ... and "yes", they were german ... snotnosed brat!
After about 4h (including the "meal" and the movie "Little Miss Sunshine", which I absolutely recommend to everybody!), the little monster behind me, must have been either comatose by the overdose of whatever or just totally exhausted and must have stopped trashing around, cause I fell asleep and only woke up, when the Stewardess (german: Saftschubse) literally stuck a croissesant into my face, asking whether I would like breakfast. After feasting on the rubbery croissesant, frozen butter and the unavoidable strawberry jam, we were about to land in Frankfurt.
Despite being redirected and the usual christmas chaos, my suitcase arrived there as well, magically. So I jumped onto a train, heading south and, cutting a long story short, arrived in Konstanz around noon. Thank god, my mum picked me up at the station. From door to door it takes about 24h ...
After having lunch, I tried to stay awake but finally crashed on the couch, slept from 4-6 pm, had more food, watched boring TV and went sleeping again.
It was December 22nd ...
