This is my first post of my Fall 2024 trip. I will give a brief update to bring me to the current date of 10 November 2024. I left Miami at 7:50 pm on Air France flight AF99. It was uneventful and I slept through most of it, ariving in Paris at Charles De Gaulle International Airport the next morning. This was followed by a short train ride from the airport on train RER B to the Montparnasse train station.After a 90 minute train ride, I arrived in La Loupe where Emmanuelle picked me up. The next day we drove to Beauvais Airport, just north of Paris and took the flight to Cantania, Sicely. I was late when we arrived so we only had dinner before retiring for the evening.
