WE MADE IT !!!!! (Non-rev pure joy )
early morning in Paris while I toured Roissey Village and Charles de Gualle –
Miracle of miracles – we got seats!!!! Paris to Detroit. One seat in the back for me, and one JUMPSEAT!
I am praying like anything, cause I know what a jumpseat is like……and I”m thinking, “Oh dear GOD, WE are SO HAPPY to be on here, but there’s this phenomenon (when you get older) where you actually have no derrière – at ALL. Mine is non-existent and David’s is flat !! – and 8 + hours on a JUMPSEAT………heaven have mercy. Turns out, fears in vain, he not only got a jumpseat – he got a BED!!! And a “desk” – yes! AirFrance put him in where the crew normally sleeps. Is that pretty amazing or what?!?!?
Thanks for all your prayers. How can you not believe in prayer?!?! We have been SO fortunate with our flights.
Now sitting in DETROIT, at present. We may make the SouthWest flight to Saint Louis……..and – may not.

It was indeed a miracle….my first time in the jumpseat and boy did I ever need that seat!
