Day 2 - Jan 17

I'm exhausted!

I got on the plane around 9ish (Canadian time) and got off the plane this morning in Paris at 9:30am Paris time (3:30am Canadian time!) and I didn't get to sleep once on the plane.  That can definitely be attributed to nerves and excitement! 

So now for the 6 hour layover...  I tried to get Air France to switch me onto the convenient 12:45 flight to Copenhagen, but of course, the plane was full in economy class and 500 euros was not happening for a first class ticket! So I had to wait, and they also wouldn't let me in the fancy lounge (which I only wanted so I could shower lol) so I'm stuck in the main airport with every other regular flying customer.  Thank God for Christine (my cousin for those of you who don't know) who burned me all of Glee Season 1 because that's helped speed up the flight/layover :) 

To Steph and Christie: I got a Christie seat on the airplane!! Yeah, the window seat that I was highly looking forward to ended up being a blank empty space full of airplane wall! Couldn't believe it...jokes on me haha.  But it all worked out because the plane was empty so I snuck across the plane and grabbed a real window seat on the other side. 

I was really looking forward to the landing in Paris, but unfortunately it was SUPER foggy... like soooo foggy that I didn't see anything until we were on the runway!  I was super ambitious during the landing too.  I had created all these plans to taxi into Paris and hang out at the Eiffel Tower for a couple hours during the layover; however, those plans didn't work out A) because of weather, B) because it's much further of a hike than I had anticipated.   So in the end, it means sitting here typing this blog, finally posting it, and watching more Glee for the final 2 hours.

Before I left, Jessica and Janet wrote me amazing letters that I wasn't allowed to read until on the airplane, and I saved them for the layover.  Your letters brought a tear to my eye :) Thanks so much for them <3

Well, that's all I have to say for now!  I'll try to write back tomorrow... tonight I get to look forward to an evening of Danish Hygge (whatever that is....)!

Aurevoir de Paris!

P.S. Picture from the airplane is pending, I don't feel like messing around with the cords right now lol
