back home
Ok, so I'm back home, vacation is over, and it feels as if it was far away already...
Well, it figures, it took us long enough to come back to france. 2 days, as a matter of fact.
as if the flight wasn't long enough already, we had to stay in Detroit for 24 hours, because there was something wrong with the plane. Jeez, it's an airport, couldn't they find us another plane?
If we had to stay in the US 24 hours more, why couldn't it have been in Portland instead? We wouldn't have minded an extra day of vacation there! But what's the fun in spending 24 hours at the Detroit airport? Well, we did spend most of that time at Hilton Gardens, and everything was paid for, but still, it was no fun. I have to admit that NWA took care of everything for us, but well, I can't believe they spent $215 for each room ; we must have been at least 400 people on that flight! What a waste of money! Well, if they had so much money to waste, they could have given us the money , or even a bit less, I'm sure we would have found something, and we wouldn't have minded paying for a cab if it meant that we could keep what we didn't spend...
I mean, who needs a pool, a spa and a fitness center in one's hotel, when you're only going to spend one night there ( and the pool and spa are closed at night, anyway)? Especially when your swimming suit is in you suitcase, and the suitcase in a warehouse somewhere at the airport!
We didn't even have a toothbrush, toothpaste, or clean underwear!
So anyway, after 40 hours or so, we finally got to paris 24 hours ago (and late, again, my cousin had been waiting for us for 3 hours by the time we finally got our suitcases and went through the customs) and we've pretty much been sleeping ever since...
I guess we'll need a little time to adjust, but right now being here in France doesn't feel completely right : cars are too small, houses don't have front porches, we can't go for pancakes at midnight, and worst of all, people understand what we say, there's no way we can comment on them!
How terrible!
