OUR LAST TRIP

Everything about France was amazing, and the people couldn't have been any warmer or more hospitable.  In fact, when coming back to our hotel last night, we waved goodnight to the fellow who had served us croissants and hot chocolate for breakfast each day at the brasserie next door.  He motioned for us to wait a minute, then ran out carrying an iced down bottle of wine for us to take back to our room!  How sweet is that?  But, despite all that, we may never travel again, for trying to get home has been an absolute nightmare of late flights, racing through airports, interminable lines, cancelled flights, lost luggage, being stuck in D.C., and still not having a flight home.  Right now we're in àn airport hotel room, stuck sitting on hold with reservations, and we've been told the wait will be an hour and a half!  We're just too old for this shit!

Glad your trip was amazing. Everyone used to tell me the french are horrible people and rude, but they are not, they are lovely and you were witness to that.

I agree that travel is a nightmare. Especially long travel. Sorry you are stuck in DC. I'm sure you miss the slow relaxed pace of France.

Since we moved here we have had no desire to head back to the states for a visit, just knowing the travel nightmares keeps us happy here in France.

Oh no! Don't tell me that, just after I started looking for tickets to Marseilles.

Seriously, all best wishes and hopes that you are sleeping things off as I write.
