Just a reminder that our flight leaves on Wednesday. This Wednesday. Be there or be square.
All but the Gideons will depart from Birmingham at 11:40 a.m. on Continental Flight 2603.
We'll arrive in Houston at 1:30 p.m. and the entire group will fly from Houston to Paris on Continental Flight 10 at 3:05 p.m. Word of warning--depending on which Terminal we arrive and depart from--you may have to go through security a second time in Houston which is a huge, huge pain. Be ready for that.
Please allow plenty of time to make the flight. The Continental website suggests getting to the Birmingham airport two hours early when flying out during our time slot, so govern yourself accordingly. When you get to the airport, go ahead and check in. You all have e-tickets in your own names, so there's no need to wait for the herd to gather. The flight to Houston is on a fairly small plane, so we'll have no trouble finding each other at the gate.
Steve and Mel, you'll need to be there a couple of hours early because you're going straight to an international flight.
Jen, Colleen, Teri and I (and probably Mike) will be coming in together anyway. Jen and the kids arrived on Saturday and Teri made it home safely from Washington on Sunday.
Colleen has surfaced from her woodsy isolation, and we can't wait until she gets here. Drive safely!
If you're interested, our flight from Houston to Paris is 9 hours, 40 minutes and our flight from Paris to Houston is 11 hours, 5 minutes
I beg of you, please don't leave your passports at home! If you forget everything else, you can still go and buy or borrow what you need along the way, but without a passport you're grounded.
I suspect this will be the very last Marjorie post. If you're interested, I'll be kicking off a new "Best Year Ever" diary blog when we get back, and I'll pass on that URL once it's created.
It's been a real joy contributing to this blog. I hope you've enjoyed it and found it helpful at times. It has been my sincere prayer all along that this upcoming adventure creates wonderful memories for us to share for the rest of our lives.
See you in France.
Love,
Hank
