Well my luggage and I have arrived safely in Frankfurt, and I'm waiting for the flight to Athens--in 2.5 hours. I won't be able to check in for half an hour, so I'm blogging. :-P
The previous two times I flew directly to Crete. They were only able to check my luggage through to Athens, so when I arrived in Athens I had to go out to baggage claim, grab my extra bag, and check it in again to Crete.
Sooo... This time I'm only flying to Athens, and taking a boat from Athens to Chania, so I thought that I wouldn't have to manually transfer my extra bag this time. Silly me! For reasons that are not clear to me (or anyone else I talked to), they were only able to check my bag through to Frankfurt. So once again I manually transferring my extra bag. Well, it arrived okay, and I'll check it in with Aegean Airlines folks when they get here.
I picked up some euros here in the Frankfurt airport (my bank has agreement with DeutscheBank so there are fewer transaction fees. No agreement with any Greek banks.)
I was planning on buying a phone in the Athens airport, but the store that sells phones closes at 2100, but my flight doesn't arrive until 2200. Ah well, I'll get it tomorrow.
That's all for now!
