New year and new trip. We are at CDG airport awaiting our flight to Florence. Our trip from LAX seemed uneventful, it took off a few minutes late but the taxi into the gate took about 30 min (in what city did we land?) and then it took 10 minutes to open the door so the 2km trek to the next terminal to catch our 12 noon flight put us at the gate afer boarding had closed. No problem, ther is another plane at 13:20, but in order for our bags to be moved ze need 2 hrs. So we are waiting on thte 3:50 plane in the lounge. They gave us free sandwich and beverages tickets. Thanks a lot. The lounge has a row of Mac computers to use, which is great but the keyboards are French ones.....not QUERTY keyboards so this blog is taking me quite awhile. The "w" and the "z" are switched so I keep writing "ze" instead of "we". Sounds more French that way anyway. Don't even get me started about where the "a" is and all the punctuation marks!
More later from Florence. We hope.
