The Amazing Race to France

As most of you know , my sister and I are on our big trip to France and today is day 1. It started out as a stressful day at work; a deadline the day of a big trip is no bueno. Well then I come to find Michelle's flight is delayed an hour and IF she arrived on time she only had 45 mins to get off the plane, get her luggage, change terminals and re check-in. I think I aged 10 years from that. I had already checked in but waited for her in her terminal to show her where we needed to go. she got in 10 mins early, her bag was the first to come out and made it to check in in plenty of time. THANK GOD!
Getting off the plane and through customs was a breeze. Who knew the French were so efficient! We caught a train to the main train which was going to take us to Reims. While we waited we had some chocolate croissants...DELICIOUS! The train was super comfy. Too comfy in that we kept nodding off. As we speed to Reims,  we passed by some beautiful countryside. I've learned that I need to pack lighter,  luggig a big suitcase and duffle sucks majorly. We dragged our stuff to the hostel, attempted to speak to the manager who spoke little French (we did it successfully though!) and passed out in our room. This is short and sweet as im ready to pass out again, so til tomorrow!
Au rvoir!
