Day One

It's Thursday about 3:30 pm.  We're at gate D11 at Dulles.  Our flight leaves at 5:45, but they start boarding at 4:55.  Considering all the stuff we went through for security, waiting another hour and a half shouldn't be too bad.

As it turns out we were delayed til about 7:45.  We all boarded the plane and tried again.  They didn't keep is on the tarmac too long.  It's now a little after 11.  We each watched a movie - or a part thereof , had dinner and are just settling in for the rest of our flight.  We are over the North Atlantic now, having traveled more than 1500 miles. We seem to be directly south of the southern tip of Greenland.  OK.  Enough of this boring stuff. Will continue after We land and get settled in at the hotel.
Just woke up from a not very restful 2 hour nap.  I wasn't going to write anything till we checked in, but...  Trans Atlantic flight is for the birds - and they are welcome to it.  I'm guessing we're about 20 minutes from flying over Paris.  If I want so tired, I'd be really excited.
We landed! One of the first things we saw at the airport was a smoking lounge.
