Aboard a 737, Paris -- Blogging from a slowly boarding plane, which is at least 45 minutes late. Today has been frustrating. We gave ourselves tons of time to get to the airport and drop off the BMW. We didn't need all of it, but as expected, it took longer.
The drop off spot for the car was completely unlabeled, and we did a lot of driving in circles before finally finding it. Once we did, the process went smoothly.
At Charles DeGaulle airport, things slowed down. We're flying a European airline called Easyjet. Turns out not to be so easy. They made us check our two small bags and charged us an extra $40. The plane is delayed at least 45 minuteds. No bathroom at the gate and $5 bottles of water in the vending machine.
Flight was delayed due to an undocumented passenger in Madrid. Had to unload everything. Can't believe they told us this.
We're getting ready to taxi now so I gotta go. I think we'll wind up checking in around 9:30 p.m. so I think this will be my only post today. I hope, and I expect tomorrow will be a more productive day. Au revoir and adios.

Bummer on EasyJet! I heard nothing but rave reviews about them back in 2002 and then used them that year to fly from Edinburgh to Belfast. Great, quick, cheap (remember the dollar was roughly equal to the euro back then). Downside is it had twice the cattle-car feel of Southwest --felt like I was getting on a plane owned by someone's friend's uncle.
