We're here - Clarke Griswold Would Be Proud

First and foremost, I don't have the correct converter so blogging might stop soon.

But, what a time we've had so far...

When we landed in Paris, we were told that we (the four of us) had to stay on the plane! Apparently, they had our niece Georgia registered as an unaccompanied minor and they wouldn't let us take her off the plane!!! After everyone else had deplaned, we were ushered to to the front, asked to sit down and surrounded by Air France personnel. When we explained that we had the Power of Attorney letter and that no one in Boston gave her an unaccompanied minor badge, they looked at each other and told us to have a nice trip.

Then, as we are in the shuttle being driven into Paris by the Stevie Ray Vaughn listening driver, Sandy starts to feel sick. When we got to the hotel, she jumped out, went around the corner and christened a wall so to speak. We think she has a touch of food poisoning.

The hotel did everything they could to get a room ready for us but it wasn't until 12:30 so we went to the Louvre and saw a few things.

Sandy toughed it out and we wound up sitting in the lobby for 45 minutes. What a great hotel staff - the person running the front desk walked us to our room.. They explained that the hotel has a three person / room rule but that because of the time we've had so far, they would look the other way. Plus, they came back and gave us gifts for the girls. So, big thumbs up for the Hotel de Louvre!

Jet lag has kicked in and we're going to nap.

The internet connection is really slow and doesn't let me download pictures so between not having the right converter and slow connections, pictures may have to wait until we get home.

I think the spirit of Clark is with us.
