Homeward Bound, Sept 30 & October 1

Sept 30

On the train to the airport

View from our room

    We went to the nearest bakery for a last wonderful croissant and a coffee. Then, we went back to the flat and cleaned up. As we had all day to get to the airport and couldn't check into the Sheraton before 2, we went to a touristy cafe and lingered over a not-very-good pizza, but it passed the time. Unfortunately, the train stop, St. Michel/Notre Dame was closed for repairs and we had to walk to Chatelet with our luggage. It's not far, but the underground maze is quite long. Luckily, we travel light.

  We took the train to Charles de Gaulle. It's so nice to travel by train.

  We checked into the Sherator (a very nice room, but expensive). Then, we walked to Delta and got our seat assignment. We won't be together, but Barbara will be directly behind Mark.

    We ate at the hotel.

Oct 1

      We got up early and went to the Delta Sky Lounge where we relaxed with some good food and coffee. Everything connected with our flight went smoothly. The plane was on time and it was very smooth with lovely weather. We both wore our masks the entire way. Willy was at Logan to pick us up which was lovely. He made Vietnamese Meat Balls for dinner. We went to bed early with jet lag.

Summary Comments

We had a jam-packed trip and a lot of fun. We saw family and friends. And, while our trip was cut short by about two weeks, we feel fortunate to have done what we did.
