Final Destination: Paris!

I'm really starting to detest long plane trips. Fortunately, our Air France flight (operated by Delta) had a 2 hour stop in Detroit... that we didn't know about. But even Denver to Detroit felt like a long slog. The flight from Detroit to Paris was nearly interminable. I know a guy that flies from the U.S. to Berlin several times a month. Not sure how he does it, I think that would kill me.

We finally arrived in Paris at 8:00 AM and got to our hotel/apartment by 9:30. Fortunately, they had a room available so we were able to drop off our bags.

Damn, that bed looks SO tempting...

I'm so tired the bags under my eyes are bigger than the bags we just hauled up to our room

It's 9:30 AM in Paris, the sun is up, there are very few clouds in the sky, the city is alive with the smells of fresh baguettes and roasted coffee... and my body is telling me, "Ignore all that you idiot... it's BEDTIME!"

We saw a cute cafe right across the street, so I think we're going to get something to eat. Maybe that will give us a little more energy.

Oh, and it's my birthday today! Great timing, huh? Yep, I'm 32. <smirk>
