Versailles entrance

We are now on our way to Cork, Ireland

I have been having difficulty adding pictures because the icon for add them is not on the blog!! Oh well, we have been through England, France, Brugg and Amsterdam, Roddedam and yesterday we went to Normandy. The French really owe us big time for that great feat, but I think they forgot! The town of Honsfleur was awesome. I think Walt Disney got his inspiration for parts of Disneyland from this city. We Rented a car and I DROVE IN FRANCE. Thank goodness for GARMIN!! Amsterdam was great and we got to see Anne Frank home, which was very touching. We are having fun and if the pictues work, they will come.

Day 2 and we had a great day. Walked to the Grand Palace and the Petite Palace and viewed the museum. Then went to Lourve and saw the Mona Lisa and lots of other great paintings and Satues. Had a fun lunch and went to Notre Dame. What a building! Then we got real lost and had to take a taxi back and just in time because Cheri and Cary had just got in about 7:30 at night. Going out for a light supper and dessert. One needs a lot more time in this city, it is the greatest!!!!!

Here are the pictures that go with the last post. I put too many on one post so it kicked them all out! Opps still learning.

We got to Paris Early!!

Our Delta flight got into Paris 9:10 am on Wednesday, an hour early. You
will see in one of the pictures we had a tailwind.  We got our luggage with no problem, but had an hour wait for our ParisShuttle. The gate we were to meet them was swarming with Machine Guned Militia in camo!!  Someone was in trouble. I thought of taking a picture of Kathy in the foreground, but I thought he might machinegun her down, so I didn't. We arrived at the hotel going down the Champs de Elysees and throught the Arc de Triumph. The Hotel is cute and quaint, that means small and older, but it is so Parisian. We got little sleep on the plane,so we went for lunch at a great little restaurant (eveyone had dogs at the outdoor tables-Bandit would have loved it), then we went to see the Eiffel Tower and climbed as high as they would let people. We came home a crashed for a bit and are now ready to go out and explore. Having a great time. Cary and Cheri arrive on Thursday evening.

We are flying at 31000 ft. This is a good thing! Cincinnati here we come..;

OUR VACATION BEGINS!!

WE made it to the airport without any issues and our bags were under 50 pounds and they never even weighed them!!  Oh well, better safe than sorry.  Our flight to Cincinatti is supossedly on time, so we just need to make the short connection of 35 minutes.  Delta says "NO PROBLEM".  We are thinking positive.
