France Day 16 - going home

Wednesday September 25

Last night we had asked the hotel reception to order a taxi to the airport at 5am (Sophie recommended) and a wake-up call at 4:15am. The trouble with packing/leaving is that you can’t totally pack because you need some things in the morning. Oh well, we were ready even a bit earlier and went to the (deserted) lobby  when we asked if the taxi could come earlier they said that could not be changed  

But the taxi was punktuell and our grandsons will be happy to know that it was a Tesla. And it seemed a very posh one. Of course I don’t know whether there are any not posh ones.

Once at the airport we figured out where to go and everything went well.

7:39am and we are taking off to London Heathrow.

Breakfast? The best BA could do.

In London we had a 5+ hours layover. Plenty of time for breakfast. When we were seated we remembered that we had been there before. I found the recipe and we were at "wagamama".

James ordered a full British and I had this very tasty noodle dish with pickled ginger on top. 

And then finally we were in the transatlantic plane, BA but operated by AA. It was totally full  and when we booked no seats next to each other. So we had aisle seats behind each other. 

We landed in Philadelphia pretty much on time but found long lines in the transfer at the security check. 

It is not very comfortable standing around like this until you finally can take the bus from Terminal B to F and then walk all the way to F39. The advantage was no more waiting but straight into the plane. We could text our ordered ride home that we would be on time. 

We were home around 9pm and all was well until bedtime when we had a panic attack.  

Hope to write that blog on Monday 😀👋 when we can do 👍

Happy to be home. Grateful for this adventure time with “learn and discovery”. Thanking the Lord for all our blessings.
