Munich arrival

We watched "Water for Elephants". (Now I will take it off our Netflix queue.) Ready for a nap, I take the unused packaged pillow and blanket furnished by the airline for the empty seat next to me and put it in that seat for my head. I extend my seatbelt as far as it will go to allow me to lay down. I put my feet in David's lap and actually am able to fall asleep for a while. Later I got up to walk around and exercise my feet and legs, go to the bathroom and get a drink of water. The cabin crew gradually turns on the lights to waken the passengers. They seve us a small breakfast of yogurt, juice, and a breakfast roll. They come by later with about two swallows of either coffee or tea in a tiny cup.
We are surprised not to have to complete any type of immigration or custom forms. We land in Rome, but are still behind schedule because of the delay in taking off from Chicago. The agent tells us how to find the gate for our flight to Munich and we racewalk through the terminal, weaving around other passengers. No time for a bathroom break or to buy water--besides we do not even have any Euros yet. We heave a collective sigh of relief as the plane is still boarding so we  are able to get on. Flight time to Munich will be an hour and ten minutes.
Landing in Munich, we deplaned and went to baggage claim. There was quite a wait before bags began to come onto the baggage delivery system belt. At last a few came and slowly, bit by bit, a few bags at a time arrived. The crowd gradually dissapated as each individual or family was able to claim their luggage. After nearly an hour, we were the only people left in the area. We were disapponted, but not surprised that our bags had not come through. Afer all, we had barely made the connecting flights ourselves.
We went to the lost baggage claim area and spoke with Ursula. a pretty blond woman who took our information and said they would deliver our bags to the hotel when they arrived. Another flight from Rome is due in around 6 PM. David asks if she has been to the US and she says twice. He asked if her luggage was lost and she says no. David said he hopes Germany will treat its tourists as well as the US treated her. She gets the joke. She gives us directions to the S Bahn train which we will take into the city. We stop at an ATM to get Euros, then go down to the train level. As we look at the map and are trying to figure out which tickts to buy, a young woman approaches us to ask if we want to buy ( although she says sell instead) the day pass she has. She and her husband bought it to get to the airport, but it is good all day. We wonder if this is a scam, but as we talk with her and ask questions, finally decide she is legitimate and we pay her 10 Euros for the pass, which will give us both unlimited travel on the entire Munich system today. Next we have to figure out which of two trains to take--the hotel information says either will work, but we ask a local and he says because it is Sunday, one of the trains does not run as far as we need to go. So we take the S5 instead of S4. We count the stops on the map and decide we need to get off at the third stop. We are getting around pretty easily with just our carry on luggage, since we did not get our larger bags at the airport. We board the train, count off to the third stop and get off. The hotel instructions say the hotel is right beside the train exit, but there are six exits! We choose one and go up to ground level. We know we must be near the hotel, but cannot see it from here. We walk to the end of the block and David spies the Sheraton sign high up on the hotel. Now we have our bearings and walk to the hotel. Mercifully, they have our reservation on file. We check in, let them know to expect our luggage later, and go to the room to shower and crash. It is about 2:30 local time.We have been travelling for over 24 hours and are ready to rest.
