It wouldn't truly be my home if I didn't get locked out...


I may try to blame this one on being awake for 24+ hours but within the first few hours of being in our new dorm, my roommate, Lindsay, and I got lock out. However, unlike numerous other times when I have locked myself out of a house this time I had my keys with me. We didn't know that in Romania there are double locks on the doors. One turn one lock, two turns two locks. Very confusing when you are turning between one lock and two locks and thinking the bolt is stuck in the door. After about 45 minutes of trying and many phone calls we got back in. So for all you future travelers to Romania or another Eastern European country I hope my foolishness spares you. Another tip for future travelers; bring blue pens! Most official documents have to be filed in with blue not black?!?
Besides the key mishap the trip to Cluj was long but uncomplicated. Passport control was shut down for a while in Frankfurt for unknown security reasons but we had two hours to make it to our flight to Munich so it was no problem. Also there were no giant airplane drops over the ocean which made me very happy.
Ciao

  1. That is too funny, Kaitlin! Glad this lock-out didn't cost as much as the last one in Coralville! Glad you were able to get it all figured out! Sounds pretty complicated! Sounds like everything is going well! Thanks for the blogs! Love you! By the way...this is Mom on Meghan's computer.
