Wheels down

As I type this, at 6:30 this morning, Ken's plane has landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. I got up at six and checked the tracking site on the internet and watched as the plane made its final approach and landed. I last saw the plane at 1:00 this morning as it was just approaching Nova Scotia.

Airline contrails above the vineyard behind our house, looking north. You can tell which direction Paris is!

So now he'll de-plane, go through immigration and baggage claim, then head toward a train to home. He has several train options depending on how quickly things go, so he'll call me at some point to tell me where and when to pick him up.

  6. Jean and I are renting an apartment in Paris next month. I'm looking forward to the stay there, but the flight is long and miserable from Seattle. Maybe we should move to Charlotte for the non-stops to CDG.
