The Flight Over

Our trip began just as planned. We left the house at about noon and picked up Mr. Palmatier who would drive our van home from the airport and also pick us up again when we got home. The drive down went as well as any drive to the airport through New York City can go. We arrived at JFK in plenty of time, went through security and waited around the terminal for about three hours. Here we are just outside the airport.

Cameron especially enjoyed his window seat (and entertainment), commenting on the view the entire flight.

The overnight flight and time change took a toll on all of us, and when we landed in Heathrow, we slept away the three-hour layover. The flight to Charles de Gaulle airport was only an hour, so we arrived in Paris mid-afternoon. We got on the train that would take us from the airport to our hotel in Paris, lugging a suitcase and carry-on each, as well as two cameras. We were all very tired and some of us were half asleep. The train ride, however, would wake us up in no time, but that is another story in itself.
