It is Monday morning and between loads of laundry I will finish this us. We were up at 4:15 AM (French time - 7 hours ahead). Bags out at 5:15, breakfast and on the bus by 6:15. Drove to Marsailles (1 hour, 15 minutes). Picked up our luggage and trudged to the terminal. We experienced a very strong wind that is common in the area (think hair standing straight up). Our flight was at 10:30. While going through Security, I had the usual pat-down which included lifting my sweater and feeling around my waistband. Then she said to me, "You have toilet paper hanging out of your pants." OH MY GOD! The French bathroom had no seat on the toilet so I laid down some paper and you can figure out the rest of the story. I could have died. Our flight to Paris only lasted an hour. Found Charles DeGaule airport to be large, but easy to find around in. Lou and Rose Marie had the same schedule so we enjoyed lunch together and then waited until 4:15 for our flight to Chicago. The two 'ladies' in the row ahead of us on the airplane, immediately reclined their seats and they stayed that way the entire trip---not nice. Oh well. We landed safely at 6:00 PM, cleared customs, ran out the front of the terminal to see the Rockford bus pull away from the curb. Caught the next bus and Nancy met us in Rockford. Thanks for traveling with us. It is good to be home even though the breakfast selection was pretty slimy compared to what we are accustomed to!
