Hammitt Family Adventures : We're really doing it!

I am so confused on my days right now... I am pretty sure we left Grand Junction on the 22 of May. We spent a few days in Durango with Laura, Kevin and Lucy and then we took a road trip up to Bend, OR with Jay, Jeanie, Kim and the twins. We crashed Jeff and Elaine's home and had a family filled week. Jason ran his half marathon and we camped at Timothy Lake the night before the race with Jeff, Elaine, Grey Gladden (3.5 years old) and Silas (10 months old). Grey gave her best rendition of Let It Go from Frozen at 4am for the whole campground to hear - it was quite funny. We also camped with Jerry (Jay's brother) and his wife Francine and her daughter Ashley and her husband Peter. Jeff drove us to Portland on Monday and we flew out at 6 am from Portland to JFK. When I purchased our tickets 3 months ago, the only way I could find affordable ones was to book 2 separate tickets. So, I booked Delta from Portland to JFK and then Norwegian Air from JFK to Prague via Oslo - which meant we would have to collect our bags and recheck them in New York. The flight from Portland to JFK went smoothly but we found out that the flight to Prague had been cancelled and rescheduled for the following day. While we would have normally enjoyed a layover day in NYC our doctor appointment was scheduled for June 4 and could not be rescheduled for the following day because the doctor will be on holiday fishing in Norway for 2 weeks. Long story short, our tickets we refunded and we booked a flight with Lot Airlines that day. We flew to Prague via Warsaw, Poland and arrived earlier than was originally planned.

Exhausted and delirious we arrived at the airport and collected collected our 3 checked bags and our 2 carry on wheelies (I really really tried not to over pack - but I can't say I did that great of a job) So we and made it out and got a new SIM card at the airport for our phones so that we would have cell service. Then we proceeded to purchase our passes for the city public transportation and hop on a bus. We took the bus to the metro station and then in no time we were at our stop. We arrived at the flat where Daniel met us and explained the in's and out's of the place and recommended a place to eat. We ate at a little place around the corner and went to bed around 8:30pm. I managed to get a full night of sleep but tossed and turned most of the night. I kept waking up and seeing Jason reading on his Kindle (he got a lot less sleep than I did).

Today consisted of venturing out to find breakfast, working online for a bit, a meeting with someone to help us find another flat (we like the one we are in but there is quite a bit of construction going on in the 2 apartments next door - not the best thing when you are trying to sleep in the morning) and meeting with the doctor. Yes, the whole reason we are here!!!

I am too tired to go into the whole appointment details - and they really deserve their own post. I will update the blog again tomorrow.

After the appointment, we had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant that was recommended to us and then took the metro to old town to walk across the Karlův most (Charles Bridge) - which is one of the most touristy spots in Prague. It is now 11:30pm and I am headed to bed. More to come...
