1 June 2008



We woke up early for the short trip to the Paris, Charles de Gaulle airport. Of course we got lost on the way to the airport. Dennis boarded an SAS flight to Copenhagen, where he will connect to an SAS flight to Seattle. From there it’s a hop to San Francisco & home to Tracy, Ca. I waited in the airport until 11:35 when the flight board read “Take off” for Dennis flight home. I went to the parking lot to begin my 4 week “solo” drive through Europe. Of course, I got lost leaving the airport!!!


Good-bye Dennis. I’ll see you again in 4 weeks.

June 1, 2008: Driving solo.

I Drove from the airport to Dijon, driving on mostly 2 lane country roads. It was a beautiful drive, winding through the Champagne / Burgundy rural French landscape. About every 6 miles the road would lead through a small village. I’ve discovered I can place the note book computer on the passenger side floor so that I get a good view of the screen as I drive. As long as I keep the red GPS cursor on the prescribed green route, I think I can navigate these country roads OK. It’s the city streets that can be a challenge.
