After a wonderful wedding for our son, Michael, and his beautiful bride, Dylan, last weekend we are finally off on our next adventure. Well, we thought we were off, but a series of events have bogged us down.
Our flight from Boston to Paris and then connecting on to Venice was due to leave at 7:06 PM. We actually left at 7:30 but did not actually fly until 8. This was somewhat problematic since our connection in Paris was only 70 minutes. When we landed in Paris, we thought we would be fine until our gate was not ready and then when it was ready we were in a remote area that took 15 minutes by bus to get us to the terminal. We did the run through the terminal, going through passport control and security and getting to our gate about 3 minutes too late to make the flight.
We are now waiting for our rebooked flight hoping that our bags have also been rebooked.
Our friends, Cheri and Mike Madsen, who we were meeting in Paris, had plane problems and ended getting rerouted directly to Venice. Unfortunately no one rerouted their bags. They have been told that the bags will get here tomorrow and be sent directly to the ship.
Upside, great shopping in Paris airport 😉
We hope this is the only “oops” we encounter.

All part of the adventure, right? Will this be a river cruise? Say “hi” to the Madsen’s for us!

Yes, but would rather be hassle free. This is ocean size ship, Oceania Riviers. Will send your regards.

There is something about the Paris airport; I vowed never to change planes there again! Anyway, hope the rest of the trip is fabulous, and that everyone has their luggage for the cruise. Tell Cheri and Mike hi for me.

We also hate Paris, but it was a necessary evil this trip. Will send hellos to C and M. We never touched base about Israel, when I get home.
