Travel can be hard some times. The last few days have reintroduced us to what happened when the system goes awry.
So since my running diary hit the skids at customs in Paris, we've been in line for quite a while. It took us a few hours before we got a new flight settled and a hotel in Paris. After we got there and had a nap (hadn't really slept in a day) we decided to take advantage of the situation. So we went for a quick stroll around the Seine. We wandered past Notre Dame, the a Louvre and pond du Arts.
After a solid night of sleep we returned to the airport to find things supposedly working properly. Some French air inspectors had a different plan for us. They performed an impromptu inspection that found a 3mm crack that needed to be repaired. This also required consultation with Boeing before we were allowed to go. This took four hours to sort out. All the while, we waited on the plane. So eventually we got in the air and made it through a 8.5 hour flight after that. And somehow our connection at the airport was painfully waiting for us, even after we were 28 hours late. But we are now safely in a hotel awaiting our departure in the morning. Somewhere in this post is a crappy iPad picture of our view here.
Random stories.
1. On the plane, the flight attendants treated Christina and I differently when we ordered booze. Christina would get one drink and I always got two. :)
2. I brought my old phone with me. I already lost it.
Goodnight
