We are here!!!

Well here we are :) We made it! All six of us (including Anthony's friend Max)... It is 3:15 am and I should really be sleeping but thought I would update first.

We got through LAX no issues at all - were assigned our seats (as some of you know we had NO seats thank you Orbtiz) I was very concerned about our tickets as there had been also been ongoing issues - nothing - no problems!

We saw Collin Farrel at the airport and the kids thought that was oh too cool.

AirFrance was fabulous - two meals - all the movies you can watch - We slept on and off through most of the flight. Even Tessa who hates to fly and does not sleep on planes - Tylenol PM and she was OUT.

Upon arrival in this beautiful city we cruised through customs, and got our bags - caught up with Max no real issues. He had a much longer day then us going from LAX to JFK to LHR to Paris. The drive to our apartment took longer then I recalled from our last visit here - lots of traffic - we landed at 5:15 and did not get to our apartment till around 8:00 pm or so.

Quick (as if anything with 6 people can be quick?) unpacking and off to explore. The weather was fabulous last night - clear and cool. Could not be nicer! Hope it stays like that but I imagine that might be too much to ask for :).

Strolled the streets and found a lovely corner cafe - it was yummy! The best part? The wine! Oh my - a carafe of wine for around 15.00 dollars? Love that!!

Then off for crepes from the street! Nuttella and bananas..not sure that is fair!

Everyone has been so helpful, charming and kind.

A fine start to our holiday!

Now..I should get off to try to sleep. Tomorrow morning is Christmas Eve here - we are going to the Christmas markets and then the Notre Damn which is within walking distance from our apartment.

Merry Christmas to all!

Love,
Frank, Dawn and all the kids!
