Arrived in Athens, Greece

Met Sharon and Donna in O'Hare at the departure gate. Our Air France flight was fine --roomier than most.  A good dinner and then lights out for some sleep.  Landed in Paris 70 minutes ahead of schedule thanks to a good tail wind.  Found our connecting flight and waited some more.  The only hitch in our travels was Chuck's problems with security.  After a full body scan in O'Hare, he was patted down and was scolded for having a handkerchief in his pocket.  In Paris he was patted down twice.  It was almost like he fit the profile of someone they were looking for.    Arrived in Athens around 2:45 PM.  We are 8 hours ahead of home.  We were met at the airport by Road Scholar transportation and whisked into city center and a nice hotel.  Now for a hot shower and a little nap before the Welcome Dinner.
