Today/yesterday was travel day. Not fun, but you have to keep your eye on the prize....being in France. We boarded our Delta 330 last night at 4:30 and life has been pretty much hell since then to 4:30 today. Crowded plane (but we paid the extra $100 per person for 5" of extra leg room), terrible food, 2 screaming babies all night long. NO sleep. Arrived at CDG airport in Paris at 7:10, custom lines as long as Disneyworld, Walk, walk walk to the train station in the airport (easily 5 miles away), wait in line to purchase train tickets, eat good croissant in the station.

Went out at 6PM . Way too early for dinner/supper.
Found a bistro that had tent sides and heaters inside. |
