Rare TxTeach79 Posted June 13 Author #326 Share Posted June 13 We made it! All checked in - room isn’t quite ready, but should be shortly. We aren’t going far, just sitting here in the lobby bar trying not to fall asleep. 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare thera Posted June 13 #333 Share Posted June 13 Glad y'all made it safely with luggage. I've heard so many folks complain about CDG, never been through there but I have avoided it while overseas so far. Hotel looks swanky! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TravelE Posted June 13 #334 Share Posted June 13 5 hours ago, TxTeach79 said: Captain says we have nine pieces onboard that belong to passengers who didn’t show, so by law we have to remove them. Should be a 10-15 minute delay. I wonder why they did not show. Maybe it was the outrageous transfer to the 2nd plane. NEVER connect through CDG!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister lives an hour north of Venice, Prosecco Road is literally a super hilly road up the mountain where all the vineyards are. There are trails you can hike and Prosecco and charcuterie vending machines along the way. Okay, I have a new item on my travel wish list. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s also biased.) You may not have had the finest example, but I'd say Wisconsin cheeses by far outpace the French these days, Then again, I may be biased as well. 🙂 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimmy52 Posted June 13 #345 Share Posted June 13 Glad you made your connection and that your luggage arrived! My experience through CDG in November was different. Although my TA kept insisting an hour and 20 minutes was enough for my connection at CDG, it wasn’t. Walk through terminal E, walk through terminal F, go through security, go through passport control (all long lines), get on a bus to terminal G, get to our gate—we missed it. CDG is chaos. We were supposed to arrive in Porto, Portugal at 10:30 am. By the time another connection was added at Lisbon, we arrived at 7:30 that evening. Without our luggage. Fortunately we had our carryons. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TxTeach79 Posted June 13 Author #346 Share Posted June 13 That was an amazing nap. Still ultra groggy. Lowest the AC goes is 71 F, but that’s just Europe. It works well enough. No idea where we go from here. It’s pushing noon back home, I’m still loopy. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have done it three times, yes, a walk but watch YouTube and follow the signs, most importantly have a decent layover, for me, that means minimum three hours. Once, it was ten. We were business class and spending the day in the lounges was great 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOptima Posted June 13 #349 Share Posted June 13 What were your thoughts on the exit row seats? Leg room yes but when you had food and tried watching something? And no where to store anything? We did one that was A had nothing in front of it then B&C had the 2 exit row seats. Yeah my DH drove me insane as he had leg room sitting in A and I had all his crap with me in B. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Layover at CDG is a little over 2 hours going home, so longer than today. Hopefully we work it out again, but I’ll be less panicked about getting somewhere on time headed home 🤷🏻♂️ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
