Paris Day 1 (9 May)

I foolishly stayed up too late on the night of May 8th…meaning I woke up on the 9th at 05:30…my flight to Paris CDG was to leave at 07:05! Eek!!! But I thought, no problem, I’ll get to the airport in time.

Luckily my bag was all packed and ready to go, but by the time I’d fixed my hair and gotten dressed, it was already 6:00. Then the damn Metro had to be delayed for about 3 minutes on the way to the airport (to the point where it shut down and all the lights were turned off) — it was 6:30 and the plane was most surely boarding…and there I was, sitting in the Metro and getting no where.

When the Metro re-booted and finally completed its slow-ass journey to the airport, I RAN as fast as I could to the check-in terminal. I was flying Air France, so my terminal was not in the main terminal where the metro drops you off. The lady at the check-in counter told me I was WAY too late, but she called to make sure. Yup, the people at the gate said the plane was already boarded and I was too late. It was 6:50. The plane would leave in less than 25 minutes!!!
