Two entries in my travel journal typed here for your viewing pleasure:

7:05 PM, CLT airport, at gate D3

No problems so far except that my poor bladder almost burst. Why are there no bathrooms until after you check-in and pass through security?? I had to pee from the time Michael dropped me off, and the sight of those long lines almost made me cry. Fortunately no one/thing poked me in the abdomen, so I made it.

7:55 AM, London time, on plane

Not at all a comfortable flight. I remember loving the trip to France… This time, however, the first let down came when I had not brought my own head phones, so the in flight movie wouldn’t even play unless I purchased and plugged in the $5 US Airways ones. I didn’t, so it was a long, uncomfortable flight. I swear this is the smallest possible seat, even for little ol’ me! I slept very little and spent most of the flight looking over the shoulder of a man 3 rows ahead of me to watch his silent screen.

I’m tired and dehydrated.
