I have inexplicably been running ahead of schedule for most of the last 24 hours. The Packing Fairy arrived on time for once, and in another small miracle, everything fit. We didn't hit any traffic on the way to the airport. I waltzed right on up to check my luggage, and then stood in the security check line for all of two people. There were so few people there I had the entire baggage-scanner-rolling-belt-thingy to myself.
All of which is to say, I have some time to kill here at the gate.
(Hmm, should have brought a fidget spinner...all the kids in this French school group next to me seem to have one...)
So, in just two short hours, it's off to France! I've only been to France once before, in 1994. I was 14, traveling with Mom and Emily, who was 6 at the time.
Couple of things:
- My hair. Whoa. We give Emily a hard time about her hair back in the day but...yeesh...
- Could I possibly have tucked that t-shirt in any more?
- I hope the camera around the neck look is still in fashion.
Oh, and also I was wearing black sneakers with black socks. It is truly remarkable that neither of us were discovered by any Parisian modeling agencies during the trip.
We finished our day in Paris with a river cruise on the Seine, and then in true Rohde girls style, spent the next day at EuroDisney.
I am now somewhat regretting my choice not to make time for a day at Disney on this trip.
Nah, not really. Between sight-seeing and the wedding, I think I'll be pretty busy and thoroughly entertained.
And now it's almost time to board! Hopefully one of these kids will let me borrow their fidget spinner.
So glad you did not mention that while we were on the Seine River "bateaux" with all the twinkling lights in the trees around the Notre Dame cathedral, Emmy said, "This is boring."
