It was a long leg from Minneapolis to Paris

Here we are, finally on board the plane to Gay Paree! The plane wasn't full so Lee and I got a entire row to our selves.

In case your wondering, here is a look at the Airbus plane - not much difference from the 747 ...

except I think they have better electronics!

Lee is a self professed "Babe" magnet - meaning every long plane flight he's been on there is a baby near him. In this case, the baby was just one row ahead of us. Poor kid cried 90% of the way there. He couldn't sleep and neither could we. His father was native French and he was taking his son to France to meet the relatives.

The Dad was very kind and told us we would be better off taking the train from Charles DeGaulle airport into Paris. So we did. Don't we look great after a very short night?

It doesn't look very full, but by the time we got close to Paris, it was wall to wall bodies and I had to bowl a few people over to get out with our suitcases. Note to self, next time bring only one!

I'll work on uploading some more pictures to my flickr account. More later...
