European Journal July 19, 2010

It was our last morning in Paris. We got up, showered, dressed, and subjected ourselves to one last buffet breakfast before getting a call that our shuttle was nearly 20 minutes early!
It ended up being a good thing, when we got to the airport and saw the line for American Airlines! It stretched on and on and on. We took our place at the back of the line, and slowly made our way to the counter. After an hour and a half in line, we were able to move to the self check-in. we checked our bags (which were thankfully under the 22kg limit), and headed to security. We had just enough time to grab a little something to eat and stop in a bookstore. We boarded our plane a little after 11:30am. We had a window seat and the next seat on an aisle, so we were very comfortable. This plane didn't have all of the amenities/entertainment that the first one did, but we did see two movies during the flight. Though it was a 9+ hour flight, it was virtually always lunchtime (we left Paris at 12:30pm, and arrived in Chicago at 2:30pm!). We had two "lunches" during our flight.
After a quick flight from Chicago to Indianapolis, we were happy and thankful to see Kristy, who delivered us home to our yet-unpacked condo and a very excited Kitty.
It was good to be home!
