JET LAG REPORT

We're back. What a fantastic trip! I will share the best of about 600 photos when I get a chance.

Standing in a queu for an hour and a half at Charles DeGaulle airport yesterday was not pleasing to say the least. The line was not for security or customs but for getting a boarding pass and baggage checked. I will complain to Northwest Airlines. The security and customs lines were not too long. The lines in Detroit were not too long either.

I know I said the food was expensive in France last week but I have reconsidered. The quality of the cuisine is excellent and similar quality here in the USA would cost a similar amount of dollars as we paid in France. Hotel costs were not unreasonable either even when measured in dollars rather than euros.

And it's simply wonderful being in France!

So, it was totally worth the cost.

The drive from the airport in Syracuse to our home (about 50 miles) was challenging since it was at 11 to 12pm in New York and 5am to 6am in Paris. I had to work at keeping my eyes open and staying focused on driving.

I had a good night's sleep. Maybe I will be lucky and not feel too much more fatigue. The trip was exhilarating. It's good to be home, re-united with family and friends and our poodle.
