We left our home in Tacoma at 11:10 am on Tuesday, February 17th. Pam, a friend of ours came by with her van to take us to the airport. Troubles began when we tried to put all our luggage in her van. Margaret was at our house, so we had 9 suitcases and 6 people to get in the van. We all didn’t fit. Plan B went into effect. We would use our van, which was a little bigger, and Pam could put it back in our garage after she dropped us off.
We made our plane and left Seattle at 2 pm. We took Air France because I got a great deal back in September. Little did I know that the prices changed very little in the 4 months leading up to our departure. I could have waited and gotten the same deal. I wouldn’t have believed that in September. We had a good flight. Big plane, an Airbus 330-200, I think. Had TV screens in the back of the seat ahead of us, and we got to chose movies, news, games, or watching the flight of the plane. That was fine for a few minutes. The movies were hard to hear because of the noise in the plane. I read, Becca played and watched a movie.
We started out with Margaret right behind Becca and I, Marty and Andy were in the seats ahead of us. There was a guy sitting beside Margaret, but when he found out that Becca and Margaret were playing, he left before we even took off. Funny. Then about 5 hours into the flight, Becca went back to sleep with Margaret, but she didn't go to sleep, she kept watching TV. She finally went to sleep, slept about 3 hours. We had good food. I said I wanted a diabetic meal, so they brought that first before anyone else got food. It was ok, but nothing special. Didn't seem to me to be any less sugar that the regular meals. They woke us up by turning on the lights in the cabin, and then we had a quick breakfast. That was pretty good too. We have been used to traveling in the US and not having any meals, these were pretty good. We arrived in Paris at 9 am on Wednesday, the 18th.
