Day 10: Saying good-bye to Europe

So today we say good-bye to Paris, all of Europe, and our new found friends. Today we head home to Boise. Our flight out of Paris is at 10:50am, but because everyone is so paranoid with International Travel, our wake up call was at 6am, our transporter picked us up at the hotel at 7am, and we were to the airport at 7:30am. By the time we got checked in and through 2 sets of security, we were to our gate at 8:30am. Only to find out that our flight was delayed until 11:30am, so we still had 3 hours to wait. Oh the joy!!!














We boarded our flight out of Paris bound for Cincinnati, Ohio. A 9 hour flight. So after a snack and a drink, I pulled the eye covers over my eyes and slept. Knowing this was going to be my last peaceful sleep before arriving home and becoming a mom again. Because of our delay in leaving Paris, we arrived late in Cincinnati, which cut our layover time in half. Now we had to hurry through customs, baggage, security and to our gate. We weren't sure where our gate was located in Cincinnati, all we knew was that we were late. So we came up the escalator, the heavens opened again, and gave us a miracle; our gate was at the top of the escalator and the attendants were holding the plane for us (once again). So we boarded. Onto Salt Lake for an hour layover, but we stay with the same plane, then onto Boise. We arrived in Boise at 9pm, or 3am Paris time.

The kids were awake and in the car to greet us. I am not sure they greeted us cause all I heard was, "What did you bring us?". So when we got to the house, we unpacked all the souvenirs and went through them with the kids. They loved it! That was it, we hugged, we put our PJ's on and climbed into bed.
