Our flight plan was to leave DFW on Air France Friday afternoon for Charles du Gaulle in Paris for a quick 1.5 hour layover before getting on the plane for Barcelona. A one hour delay in Dallas changed all of that. The connection was impossible to make. The only way to get the entire group to Barcelona was to do it in stages. The chaperones are being split between the kids and taking separate flights. We arrived in Paris about 9am on Saturday. Our group departs about noon on Sunday. After much time spent in the airport arranging the connections, meal and lodging vouchers, we had lunch at the airport McDonalds and made our way to the airport Holiday Inn. Only 5 people were able to fly to Barcelona today. The remaining 17 rested in the hotel, enjoyed an excellent dinner in the hotel restaurant, and are looking forward to a good night’s sleep. We have had excellent travel companions. Everyone has by agreeable and upbeat on the admittedly not ideal situation. We saw the Eiffel Tower in the distance, but we won’t be leaving the airport region. Tomorrow is another travel day.
