Time Zone Confusion

We have made it safely to our Gyor apartment! :) Our first flight, Iowa to Chicago, went smoothly and was short. I don't remember the last time I was on a plane and I personal do not like heights so I was a little scared about the flight but it wasn't too bad. Then we had our long overnight trip from Chicago to Heathrow, London on a larger plane. Every seat had a personal small TV screen and was able to watch movies and TV shows. I was able to watch Brave and Dark Shadows but the movies would skip, freeze or if you exited out of the movie and started it again, it would start from somewhere in the beginning. But I was glad to have that entertainment for the long flight. The flight was about 7 hours long and we were served a dinner (cheese pasta) and breakfast that were offered during our trip. The flight attendants were nice and patient. Over all, the trip to London was splendid and I enjoyed it very much. After we got to London, we almost immediately got on a plane to Vienna. We mostly slept on that trip to make up for the loss of sleep on the overnight flight. Once we got in Vienna, my dad came to get us with a Hungarian chauffeur to take us to our flat in Gyor. Through the past couple of days, my brother, mom and me have been trying to get use to the time zone change which is seven hours ahead from our regular time in Iowa. Also contributing to the amount of time we've been sleeping lately is the jet lag. I think I have needed the most sleep due to this because of my age.
      Through the week, we've met with some of my dad's Hungarian friends and colleagues. I have also been able to participate in a futball (soccer) practice with a team formed by a Hungarian friend of ours. The field was smaller then the soccer field I'm used to and since I haven't practiced in a while, I was very sore afterwards.
 With more to come.....Szia!! (Bye!) :)
