There's an element of "Oh, my!" and "I remember a similar travel story..." and "What an adventure!" in these tales. The best part is the happy ending! People were kind enough to get you on that plane. Things that are hair-raising at the time, make great stories (& blog posts) long after the event.

Mind you she says Paris is easy peasy compared to Rome. I have enjoyed several visits to Paris, so this particular journey has not taken away the Blas.

Between 1989-91 I did a lot of driving in Europe and I will never forget my first time trying to get through Paris, it was pure Mayhem. Travelling so many times through the city has left me with a tainted view of Paris so if I was to choose a city break it would be well down my list of cities to visit. I'm glad you got your flight but I hope the additional stress hasn't spoilt your view of Paris Ah the progress of time hasn’t changed the Peripherique.

That trip was back in 1999. The whole business of air travel changed on '9/11'. That was another day I was flying home from a visit to Elly. By then she was back in Scotland, finished University and working in Glasgow. I have visited most of the European countries, but so far only managed one trip over the pond to Cape Cod.

I have traveled many places in the U.S. but have still to make it to europe. I'm still dreaming of a trip to Spain. I don't know exactly when you made your journey, but I don't think in the U.S. one could ever get through check-in and on a plane in that short length of time. I really like your writing and will keep checking back. I am green with envy at the thought of taking a day trip to Paris. I have traveled many places in the U.S. but have still to make it to europe.

I had another trip to Amsterdam when Easy Jet first did the run from Belfast International. Three of us went for five days and the return fare was £35.00 per head. Elly - Don't try bringing seven bags back from Arizona next weekend. Glad the fog at Dublin didn't delay your flight to Heathrow. Stay safe!
