Homeward Bound...Stop One-Paris

Our travels home have begun! We were going to have several layovers anyway so we decided to extend them into "stay-overs". We decided to take advantage of the opportunity and explore Paris, and see our friends in Detroit before heading to St. Louis. Our adventures began with a flight from Dubai to Paris, which started off with a ticket disaster at the airport that was resolved with Chris and the airport customer service agent both on the the phone with Delta for hours, including as we headed through passport control and security. The issue was resolved as we boarded the plane! We ended up being the last ones to board--as the doors were closing. Evidently, Delta/KLM/Air France are all one network of airlines that have different rules regarding e-tickets for infants and the fact that Savannah had not been issued one and needed one before we could board the plane. Savannah was amazing on this flight, she slept through everything....the long wait at the airport working out the ticket situation and the entire 8 hour flight! Chris and I both loved Paris. It is a beautiful city. We were only there for 2 nights so not nearly enough time to explore the city or do it justice but got a good taste, definitely somewhere we would go back to. We did a double decker tour bus, which was a great way to see a lot of the city, especially when traveling with Savannah. We especially loved the sidewalk cafes. The Champs-Elysees and the Arc de Triomphe were my favorite. Both are beautiful, plus we did a little shopping along the way. (Savannah had a major meltdown inside the flagship Louis Vuitton store!) We loved the sidewalk cafes, the bustle of the city and the incredible architecture. Notre Dame was the one place we did actually have time to tour inside. Again the architecture is beautiful both inside and out. We had perfect weather as well. Two days of sun and mid 70's, which although seemed cold to us it was great for spending so much time outside. Savannah was fantastic! Despite teething and running a slight fever while we were in Paris she was amazing every step of the way...allowing us to do as much sight-seeing as we could in our short time there. She seems to really enjoy being "out and about".
