Day 17, lundi, le 13 aout

Up early!!! The sun is shining!!!! Left the apartment at 7AM, taxi to Gare du Nord, RER to CDG Terminal 1, ten minute walk to Terminal 3, get tax rebate forms stamped at Customs booth, check-in at Zoom counter. Luckily we're 1 pound under Zoom's weight limit!!! And they didn't make a deal about my carry on bag being slightly over the limit.

And now the long wait, first on the ground and then the 12 hour flight!!

Once in the air and slightly out of Paris the sky clouded up and remained cloudy for most of the trip back. Saw a wonderful film on the flight "Blades of Glory". Amused myself watching the lovely willowy blond as she kept nodding off (with whiplash intensity) from the effects of the gravol she took.

Arrived on time and baggage arrived intact!!!

Back home, everyone happy to see us, especially Toby. Back to work Thursday. Mary starts course tomorrow.

Note: Buy lottery ticket!!!
