When my sister got to Paris from Beirut this morning , she was told that her flight to DC was delayed since they were scrambling to get passengers on another plane. She was supposed to leave CDG at 15:00 ( hopefully) The Beaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11457136925020206640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-3992205934328219342015-11-18T16:01:34.882+01:002015-11-18T16:01:34.882+01:00so glad you got home safe! i bet Walt, Callie, and...so glad you got home safe! i bet Walt, Callie, and Bertie were very glad to see you. <br />:-)Ohiofarmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606563929369721111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-51737748811775967812015-11-18T14:38:37.847+01:002015-11-18T14:38:37.847+01:00Glad this part of your trip went well.
