We've arrived! The travelling was long and exhausting and a bit mindboggeling. Though they turned off the lights on the plane to allow for "night time," there was not much sleeping to be had on the plane, nor in the 8 hour lay over in Paris. There was much digging through the bag to find more entertainment, and once we landed in Paris, much struggle not to look too blatently American. The big bags, wide eyes, and smiles made hiding our nationality difficult, however. The French, at least in airports, really don't seem to smile much.
Still, I ordered my very first drink and meal in French with my very first euros. And did lots of reading, of course. And some nomadic travelling from seating area to seating area in attempts to be out of the way and close to our gate. The final flight finally did come, however, and we slept through that one no problem.
Then, one more ride from the Nice airport to our Resideal (apartements), with a driver who was smoking the whole time (in the car! I'm going to have to get used to the smoking for sure) and we finally arrived at our home for the next few months!
More details to come!
