Our Journey Home
... as I've loved our European adventure. We had a big wait for our domestic flight and I would have loved to curl up on a seat and have a nap. Instead I tried to finish this blog but I was just so tired I spent too much time fixing my mistakes that I gave it up as a bad joke!!!!

... de la Paix....but they treated us like treasured guests...so I guess we learned that you get the service that you pay for...it was a really nice and enjoyable meal....finally....Deb didn't leave all ticked off!!
