Epilogue 05-17& 18, 2024

 We are home now.  

Yesterday we checked out of our apartment and began a 4 hour drive back to Bordeaux.  Our original plan was to return to the Hilton in Bordeaux. Our flight was scheduled to take off at 6:15 AM for Amsterdam, with a two hour layover, change planes, and then on to Atlanta.  After discussing our options, we thought our best course of action would be to stay at the airport.  It was a 45 minute drive from Bordeaux central to the airport.  Good decision,

Harry made reservations for us at the Airport Sheraton.  We stopped by the Sheraton, checked in, dropped our luggage, and drove into Bordeaux.  We turned our Enterprise rental car in at the train station.  Amanda had one more shop in Bordeaux she needed to go to.  So we took the tram into town, took care of business, and went to the airport.  

We made a fortuitous decision by changing hotels.  We had a show time of 4:00 AM at the airport, and we found out the taxis don't start operation until 4:00 AM.  I do not know how long it would have taken us to get home if we had missed our flight.  All is well that ends well.  The hotel made sure we got to the airport on time, we made our connections, and had a nice flight home on KLM airlines.

When we arrived in Atlanta, we picked up the Tahoe and headed for Alabama.

We did stop at the Cracker Barrel in Opelika for a delicious dinner of American cuisine (Fried chicken, turnips, mashed potatoes, and okra.... you know what I am talking about.

We have been immersed in French history.  If only I could go back and take my high school history classes over, I could have really improved my grades.

Until the next trip......
