Almost Home

We're on the ground on the same side of the Atlantic as HOME!!!! Currently sitting in Newark Liberty airport and we are travel weary. I'm hoping to upgrade to business class because I just can't take another three hours mushed into those claustrophobic seats; I can't take it, I tell you!

I think I'm melting down here.

PS: We were NOT able to upgrade or get even slightly better seats or anything. :( It seems Continental wanted to put butts in the seats so they ran all sorts of special deals recently plus it was the start of Memorial Day weekend and the plane was PACKED. That 2 plus hour portion of the trip dragged on forever; it was harder than the almost 9 hour trans-Atlantic flight, especially after the 6 hour layover. I think the jet lag I'm dealing with is literally JET lag; it's not as much from the vacation and time change but more from the stress of spending so many hours traveling.

Argh!

Computers are a pain in the butt. :-P I'm typing my posts into Open Office then I cut & paste during the paid internet time purchased through the hotel. Open Office has decided to be temperamental, which is unfortunate since I'm typing on this little teeny itsy bitsy keyboard and my fingers keep hitting the wrong button, esp. when I try to hit the right shift key. It's poorly placed, to say the least.

Suffice to say, we are continuing to have a lovely time even though the weather is the pits, we took a bike tour of Versailles yesterday with Fat Tire Bike Tours that was fantastic, our feet hurt, our thighs hurt, and we're taking a walking tour of Montmartre this afternoon. Hard Core, man!! ;)

More later when I can play around with Open Office and fix the posts I was typing up. It's something to do with the formatting; I'll straighten it out then paste the longer post about Versailles. (There may be a few other posts too; I'll check where I left off.)
