May Day was hectic at our house - Mass, final shopping for last minute trip needs, final packing, DCU academy game at 4:30 pm, making sure everything was in place before we left, then a great (but hurried) meal of homemade lasagna prepared by Ginny Spirito, our friend in town to watch the kids and house for the first half of our trip.
Dylan dropped us off at Dulles at 8:00 p.m., so we had enough time to enjoy a cocktail at the airport bar before we left. When we jumped in the queue at 9 p.m., I was pulled out because my carry-on was "too big" according to the check-in crew. Minor hassle, bag gate checked, no problem. But I did look at every other carry-on though, endlessly repeating to Jenny, "that one's bigger than my bag, look at that one, that's surely larger than my bag."
Our flight took off nearly on-time and arrived in Paris at Charles de Gaulle a few minutes early. Great flight, great service, but not much sleep for me or Jenny.
