I saw one of these in Frankfurt, when I was leaving on March 22nd. Everyone was pointing and taking pictures out the window and I had no idea what the fuss was about....

Leslie, you saw not only one of these, but
The One. The Airbus A380 had its world premiere at Fr, March 23th, one day after your departure. It was the very first flight with passengers and it went from Frankuft to Hong Kong.
Do you remember Kerstin's and my joy when radio reception finally had our home radio station on our way back from Holland? You asked why we were cheering. "Our" radio station is called SWR3 and they had raffled tickets for this flight among their listeners.
There's a report about the first flight on the radio's website. It's in German, but anyone who is interested can at least see the pictures (click on "Bilder") and videos of it. There's a cool series of pics of the plane's take-off to be found under "Foto-Gallery: die A 380 hebt ab".
Here's the page:
