Day 1
After arriving at the Memphis Airport at 9:20am we, of course, checked in, went through security, and chilled out at our gate (C12) to Chicago. We ate bagels and played cards... My personal favorite is Indian Head Poker - explanation - you are dealt a single card and when said you stick the card up on your forehead ha! Getting bored, we watched CNN and learned of the tragic world destruction. Not fun.
2:00pm... delayed and depressed we are 2 hours behind schedule due to bad weather up north.
We are finally told we will be boarding the plane shortly so Ms. King begins inflating her pillow.. hahhaa. Her and Mrs. Royer goofed around and tried to see how many things you could make out of it. ie a headband, a lapdesk, oh we had fun.
Once we finally made it to the Chicago Airport, we realized that we had missed our connecting flight to Charles de Gaulle. Our group, minus Ms. King, Mrs. Royer, and my parents, grabbed a bite to eat and listened to French-esque music on the floor, while the adults handled rebooking our flights (6:30pm-12:00am... LONG TIME).
Fingers crossed.
Day 2
FINALLY getting a flight booked, we spent the night in the Chicago Airport. We had to split into 2 groups; one leaving at 7:30am and the other at 9:40am to Montreal. Good news was that we would all fly transatlantic together at 10:30pm.... a nasty overlay but we were grateful. Unfortunately, we did not sleep a wink and were running off of airport food - yuck.
WOOO HOOO we landed in Montreal on time but the earlier group went all the way through customs so weren't where they were supposed to be.... So our group found a comfy, vacant area... ate some junk food and SLEPT for the first time in 48 hours. 3 hours of sleep and loving it.
We discovered that not all of our luggage went to Charles de Gaulle and ended up here in Montreal. Problem. Now we are praying that our luggage will be in Paris. great... I guess it'll just make for another adventure. We are bonding and I am learning several new card games, despite the fact that we lost a day and a half in Paris.
We board our flight at 10:00pm and it is now 9:20pm now. We will land around 11:45am Paris time (add 7 hours to current Jackson, TN time)... I'll be writing back to you in Paris =) Au revoir!
Sincerely,
Natalie
