Nov 14 - 23, 2008

Trip Journal

Paris Home

 

We finished breakfast at 8am and started off straight to the airport (54km) to see Julie off.

Our flight was at 5pm so we dropped Kevin & Milly off to their hotel in Paris.  It's really crazy driving in Paris.  There are roads and there are no road... The GPS said we could turn but the sign said the contrary.  We guess the city keeps changing the rules.

So they quickly dropped their bags at the hotel and we drove them to where they want to spend the day, Le Lourve.  We didn't stop by anywhere in Paris after waving Kevin & Milly goodbye and continued to the Carrefour nearby CDG to complete the souvenir shopping.

We returned our car at around 3pm and checked in.  The flight back was not very pleasant.  CX used the old aircraft.  The passenger in front of me pushed down her seat most of the journey and the video screen of my seat was not working!  The plane was quite full and the stewardess could offer me another seat for me only, not with Alan together.  It's in the middle of another row so no point of moving.  I was in a foul mood and ignored Alan's request of changing his seat with me :p.... he took the chance when I was going out to the restroom and then I could watch some movies .. but poor him, he obviously a taller and bigger man then me must be feeling even more cramp than me... but he insisted that he's okay.... well then we arrived in HK airport at 1pm on Nov 23!  Home sweet home.

It was a very pleasant journey.  It's not about touring around those monuments and tourist places, it's about meeting old friends, making new friends and enjoying real French homes and hospitality of French (and of course English living in France).  We all were so happy and enjoy this roadtrip and we said we would come back again.  Well, there's just so many places we want to go.  We are saying that our next roadtrip would be 09 probably May or June to Sapporo for flower watching.  Will see, if that's become reality, we will have a bigger group, probably 2 cars that time.  Stay tune!
