Arrived in Lyon!

(leaving the house in Nashville)

Well, after our long journey, we are finally here! We had a few bumps along the road (par exemple... airline lost 2 of our bags immediately after we checked them in and had to spend 30 minutes relocating them; water bottle spilled all over carry on bag; flight to Detroit was delayed; upon arrival in Detroit, we sat on the plane for 45 minutes for Northwest to get a jetway down to the plane; upon emerging from the jetway, we heard announcements for final boarding for the flight to Paris, so we sprinted a half mile with our bags to get to the gate; escalator was broken in Paris; we walked for 20 minutes to get to our gate in Paris; Doug was selected for a random bag check in Paris... ANYWAY, we are here now and that is what matters! It is so surreal to think that we are here... and here for so much longer this time. Tomorrow we leave for Geneva for our 2 day hiking trip!

By the way...
We love Air France. It just does not compare to other airlines. It was so nice to get on the plane after our little stressful situation in Detroit. We got on and there was peaceful music playing, we each had a tv, foot rest, adjustable head rest, etc. The food was great, we could help ourselves to drinks between meal services, etc.
Here are our suppers:
