First impressions and a travesty of travel

Travel from LAX to Copenhagen was lesss than desirable¨-- huricane Ike engendered a 2 hour delay which made me miss my connection to Copenhagen. After running at full speed (yelling passing move right or die) through Newark airport - the complete length and breadth of continentl's terminal and having such a food and sleep deprivation meltdown that I actually demanded help of people who were in no way capable of helping me, I finally made it to the final boarding call for a flight to Amsterdam where I would have a 2 hour layover before meeting Mary in CPH - where she was now flyng to. In fact, had our flight not left early I could quite possibly haave made it - granted I would've had to bang on the door and forced them to allow me to board. When I finally arrived, Mary was waiting for me and after 24 hours of travel, we took a little nap.
NOW, the adventure begins! We went for an overambitious walk of the city, given our exhaustion, so then headed for our destination NOMA and sat at a little cafe in the Nyhavn area - waterfront - very charming. This was an incredible meal - and I think Mary has shared this.
