Day 10
Up at 4:45 am and out by 5:15 - in the airport by 6:30 and after a quick plane change in Paris we're ready for takeoff.
Well, the plane change wasn't that quick. The "State of the Art" new international terminal 2F required a 1/2 mile walk, a wait for passport control, bag screening, a walk thru a mall and up a broken escalator, boarding formalities, more stairs, a standing room only bus ride, and a walk up the stairs to the plane. Yeah, real "State of the Art"!
Anyway, it was a great trip overall, all connections smooth, everyone friendly. Even our car problem caused a minimum of disruption. The house was fantastic, nice property and view. A lot of hilly walking thru the hill towns. It was great being in Provence off season, except we had difficulties finding restaurants. The food was a little disappointing, good but not great. Not as many sights as the Dordogne region. The weather was great, except a day at the beginning and 2 days at the end.
Overall a really nice trip, and a really nice time. A bientot!
PS Kristen saw the Eiffel tower when landing in Paris, and the Empire State building 8 hours later!
