The Eventful Trip Over...

So we get checked in at the Atlanta airport, we're ready to go and we start checking into gate E14. Maddie and I soon discover they have rejected our requests to sit together. So what would be more appropriate than for me to walk down the aisle searching for my vacant seat, just to realize that it is right in between two fat, smelly, Russian men who were staring at me with creepy eyes and exchanging mutual laughter as I went to grab my seat. Great. Not only did I have to endure 8 hours of actual flight time with the overly friendly Russians but we ended up sitting on the runway for two hours prior to take-off. As we begin to take-off the captains conveniently realize we have a fuel leak. Ambulances surround the plane. We get taken back to the terminal...after another hour and a half of waiting around we finally get in the air and make it to PARIS!!! Since the arrival, Maddie, Caroline Coarsey, Phillip and I have gone to a french cafe, walked in the Paris rain and checked into our hotel with a great balcony that overlooks the city. We're about to leave to take a walk to the Eiffel Tower. Legit. 

On Our Way To Paris!

Finally leaving for Paris today! Maddie Taylor, Caroline Coarsey and I are flying to Charles de Gaulle tonight and we will arrive in Paris around 8 a.m. their time. Our friend Phillip is meeting us there and we are all staying one night in a hotel near the university that we will be studying/living at for the next 6 weeks. The blogging for this entire trip officially commences....now :)

True Life: I leave for Paris in 5 days

but I just failed my French final....so maybe I shouldn't be our group translator.
