Barbados

Well, we're back to good old grey Paris. We were worried about our connection through New York on Tuesday evening, as JFK had been closed for the two previous days due to the blizzard (we got stuck in the snow in both directions. What luck!). There was an American Airlines agent waiting for us when we got off the plane--our flight from Barbados was late arriving due to the backlog of flights trying to land--and he rushed us through customs and security. We got one back checked through but decided not to wait for the second, and sprinted through the airport--literally, we were puffing, Erik's shoes still untied from security--only to find out that our next flight was also delayed. Enough time for a drink, and then we sat on the runway on that plane for another hour before leaving. The good news is of course that we made the flight, we were worried that if we missed it we would be stuck for a couple of days, and the plus side of the delay was the the second bag made the flight too, a nice surprise to see it come round the baggage carrier at Roissy. One of the first bags, so I imagine it was one of the last ones on!

Anyway, it's always good to be home, although Erik and I think our apartment building could really benefit from a pool in the courtyard. And of course more sun to go with it. I still have lots to say about this trip, but in the mean time, I've posted some photos on Facebook for you to peruse.

Can't believe it's the end of the year already! Do I really have to go back to work on Monday?

Happy New Year!
