The first leg of my journey to France was a three hour flight from Denver to Washington DC. I packed just a carryon bag for this trip as I did not want to take a chance that United Airlines would lose my bag. The flight from Denver to DC was full and they told me there was no room for carryon bags when I tried to board the plane. The gate agent checked my bag through to Paris at no charge. I hope I don’t wind up in Paris with nothing other than the clothes I am wearing.
We started the boarding process at 4:30 and we are scheduled to depart DC for Paris at 5:25. I was assigned a middle seat next to a mother and a screaming infant. Not good. The husband and father rescued me and gave me his aisle seat on the other side of the plane in exchange for my middle seat so he could sit with his wife and child. He thanked me. Are you kidding. I dropped to my knees and thanked him profusely!
That is it for today. I will try to post a blog tomorrow, our first day in Paris.
