Miracles Do Happen

Today we finally reached Verizon and my phone now works.  Why is it that almost everything is so difficult?  Lola couldn’t give the correct answer for one of her secret questions to Yahoo so she couldn’t read her email on my computer.   You know those questions they ask you for security, like, what’s your father’s middle name or who is your favority personality.  Lola couldn’t remember the correct answer to where she met her husband.

Today we road the Hop On and Hop Off bus all over Paris and saw many wonderful sights.  We had a great lunch at a sidewalk cafe and Susan picked the restaurant.

Our First Day in Paris

We had a wonderful flight and arrived an half hour early.  We got our bags and went to the exit and there was our private van to take us to our apartment.  Our driver was named David and after a few minutes with us he said, “I love Americans.  They always smile and are happy.”  We got to our apartment and a apartment manager met us and showed us all the quirks of the apartment.  One of the quirks is the elevator.  Barbara and Lola know the quirks of the elevator well because they have been stuck in it twice and Susan had to come to the rescue.  Our apartment has awesome views of the heart of Paris.

Travel Update

I want to let everyone know we arrived safely and our apartment is totally fabulous.  More to follow.  Also, for some reason my phone is not working yet.  We will try to get it working as soon as possible.

Our First Day

We arrived in San Francisco in gale force winds.  The ramp was put in place to descend, the door was opened.  We heard a thump and then the captain appeared and looked out the open door, and said, “Oh, shit.”  A man behind me said, “It is never good when the captain of an airplane says, ‘Oh, shit.'” As it turns out the wind was blowing so strong that it had blown the ramp into the propeller.

We checked into our motel and joined Casey (Lola’s daughter) and Henry (Susan’s former music student) for dinner at the Elephant Bar in Millbrae.  Tomorrow we leave for Paris.
