Well, we are safely planted in Paris, so the flight was successful. Actually, the flight was fairly enjoyable for being a pseudo-red-eye. We left at 5:50p in Cincinnati and landed at 8:00a in Paris though the flight was only 8 hours. Paris is 6 hours ahead of Eastern time which adds up to the additional time. J and I flew Delta. Unfortunately, neither of us noticed that my boarding ticket had my maiden name on it. Even though I changed my name this summer, I am still not all that used to it being mine! Well, security at the airport noticed right away, yikes! Luckily, I still had a non-expired military ID with my maiden name on it, thank goodness because I'm not sure what would have happened if I didn't! I probably would have got the full terrorist treatment.
The flight itself was enjoyable. We had dinner and breakfast served to us, both of which were good as far as airplane food is concerned. The highlight for sure was the free wine and the flight attendant had a generous pour, thank you Delta! They also had a nice selection of movies to watch on a screen on the back of the seat in front of us. J and I watched Argo for free, which I figures makes up for missing the Oscars. The rest of the flight was fine, but economy isn't exactly the best seat to catch some sleep in. So, when we arrived to the hotel we were pleasantly surprised to find that they had a clean room for us when we arrived, even though it was a few hours before official check-in. Naturally, we took a nice long nap. Still, as a write this a few days later, neither of us is quite on Paris time yet. A few more naps and we might be there!
