Goodbyes and On to Paris!!

The morning of of departure day dawned sunny and warm. We were up early to head to the airport to be sure Charlie was on time for his flight. We then had some time to take in a bit of Sainte Denis. Enjoyed a short visit to the botanical garden, a stop at the cafe, and a walk down the historical Main Street. Then, off to the airport where tearful, but joyful goodbyes were said.

We are now in Paris after a eleven hour flight from Reunion.  Luckily that flight had one fifth the amount of people that could fit on the plane  allowing us to each have four sets apiece.  That helped us handle that long flight but we still were very anxious to get off the flight.  Dave arranged for a transport for Christy, Rob and Dave and I to get to our hotel which was a great idea as it allowed us to    explore our Arc De Triomphe area.  We Headed to a cafe and had a bite to eat and a beer as we enjoyed seeing the Eiffel Tower lit up!  We knew we had busy days ahead of us.
