Our First Stop on our Trip.

Geo: 37.7792, -122.42

Up this morning at 4:30am for a quick run to the shop and back by 7. Did some last minute organizing, garbage cans down from the street. Forgot my Euros for the airport so we'll need to get them in Paris.

The super shuttle guy was a beauty. He was afraid to drive down the driveway but once he got going, he drove 90 miles an hour. So fast he missed the 238 freeway and hwy 92. We took the scenic route.

It's almost 2pm and we're getting a sandwich and salad at the airport. $20? We drink water. So far uneventful through check-in and security. We had "Priority Boarding" with our American Express card so we went to our own line with no one in it. Saved at least an hour! Now to kill an hour and a half before flight.

On the plane, we got 3 dinners, champagne, beer and snacks all for free. They had good movies on our TVs. We tried to sleep since we would be arriving in Paris at around 11am in the morning (1am our time) so there would be no more sleep that day. But we had little success in the sleep department. I guess we just need to kill 10 hours.

Big wait for some but not us. We have "Priority Boarding".

This is our section, an upgrade from economy. Those kids near us were the best behaved kids ever.

10+ hours to Paris.

I think I'll have some champagne, please.
That's what I'm talking about. Life is good when you're a millionaire!
