May 18-19, 2023

I’ll tell you this, traveling is not for sissies!  I think I’m possibly past the point of comfortably doing international travel. Yesterday, I barely made my connection in Salt Lake City; I was one of the last people to board, and my suitcase checked in at fifteen minutes before departure. That’s cutting it a little close for me! I think because I was so freaked out, I couldn’t sleep. We arrived in Paris at 8:30am Friday morning. It’s a huge airport and it took a good hour to get through passport control, and collect my bag. The train station was a long walk after that!  I got the shakes dragging my bag and going up and down stairs. The train to Lyon was so peaceful; I fell asleep for half of the two-hour ride. But the important thing is that I’m here in my cute little hotel room in Lyon!  Victoria and Helene will be over shortly and I suspect it’ll be an early dinner for me. Zzzzzz. 

Coming into Paris this morning. 

My connecting flight took off at 3:10.

My room in Lyon:

This is how you look when you’ve got the travel crazies!

Isadora is happy to be here!

Victoria and Helene!  I brought Helene (my French sister) a roll of American toilet paper!


View from my hotel room window. The architecture is beautiful here!

More tomorrow!  I think after a good night’s sleep, I’ll be ready to roll!
