So, we made it - yippee!! We all survived all our flights, connections, etc... even my sickie looks MUCH better than when we left Moline! :) She finally ate something at dinner.
The kids are all tucked in...pooped after a long day. Not many got a lot of sleep on the jumbo jet... and I do mean JUMBO. 61 rows...10 people across... PACKED!! Left Chicago a little late, but made our connection in Frankfurt to Paris... sadly our luggage did not.
None of us currently have luggage...none. It didn't show tonight while we were out at dinner and are hoping (fingers crossed) that it shows tomorrow... i would hate for this to damper their spirits and their trip. They (me included) are all feeling a tad gross at the moment, so new clothes would be nice. I luckily packed a change of clothes in my carry-on...others did not.
But, some good stuff about our day... we've met all the other groups traveling with us. Nice folks. Was great seeing my old friends, Garrett and Jesus...speaking of Jesus... everyone LOVED our shirts... super hit - we prob got asked 6-8 times what mission trip we were doing... lol
Kids got to climb up to the top of the Arc de Triumphe - could see the whole city from up there!! They rode the metro quite a bit, so they are learning about life in a big city real quick! We at dinner at Flam's... they're famous for their super-thin crust pizza. We scarfed down the water, the pizza and even the dessert pizza... yum yum!!
Took them to get money after dinner and then they all crashed. We've got a big day ahead of us tomorrow: city tour, Versailles, Notre Dame,, dinner, boat cruise & Eiffel Tower at night... sigh... good stuff. :)
Say an extra prayer that our luggage shows and our magical day ends on a happy note. :)
So, for now, I say Bonsoir y Buenas Noches!
