Here's the skinny:
Everyone except for Melanie and Steve will be flying on Continental from Birmingham on Wednesday June 10, 2009. We will fly from BHM at 3:05 p.m. and arrive at Houston Intercontinental at 4:59 p.m.
In Houston, Steve and Melanie will join our happy band. Strangely, the direct flight from Houston/Paris and back cost $6 more per ticket than the Birmingham/Houston/Paris route, so effectively the airline is paying nine of us $6 apiece to fly from Birmingham to Houston.
At 6:40 p.m. we depart Houston and arrive at Paris Charles DeGaulle at 11:05 a.m. on Thursday, June 11th.
Here's the scoop on the return flight:
We depart Paris CDG at 12:55 p.m. on Saturday, June 20th. We arrive in Houston at 4:30 p.m. where, after clearing customs, we say goodbye to Steve and Mel and send them on their way. The rest of us will fly to BHM at 7:25 p.m. and get in at 9:14 p.m. (still on Saturday the 20th).
For those of you who don't live in Birmingham or Houston, you're on your own to get here no later than 1:30 p.m. on June the 10th. Anyone planning to come in a day early is welcome to spend the night with us. We've got plenty of time to work out the arrangements for getting to the airport in Birmingham, but I bet we can all pile into a couple of cars for the trip and save a bundle on parking.
If anyone has any objections to these travel plans, please speak up now or forever hold your peace. Mike and Jen, if you'd rather fly yourselves to Houston and meet up with us there rather than coming to Birmingham and flying with the rest of the group, let me know right away and I'll see if I can work that out.
Finally, if there's any chance you're going to back out for any reason other than your own death, you still have a chance, but I need to know right now.
