France

Wow, when you arrive at CDG airport in Paris you go straight to immigration. There were 2 people working in immigration. One attendant for EU passports, and one for all others. Our flight held 435 people, and we were not the only flight arriving at the time. There are more immigration attendants in african airports!

Once through immigration, you go to collect your bags. There are NO Air France baggage porters. Awesome. Pushing two carts does not work. Someone from Air France did offer to help me when I was on the verge of tears. I picked up Charlie, who looked shell shocked but ok. The Air France lady helped me get outside to the airport shuttle. (By the way, no one checked Charlie's paperwork...?)

The first hotel shuttle won't let me on with Charlie. The second guy was very helpful. He told me that Air France holds baggage in the airport. Wouldn't it have been nice if an Air France person told me that before I left the airport?

The hotel was really nice, and they did room service for me since I had Charlie. There was a big park next to the hotel where we went walking.
