I had not been on an Air France flight in over 40 years since my first trip to Europe in 1968. The only other flight I had been on prior to that was a ‘prop’ plane destined for Michigan to perform as a baton twirler with our high school band for a half time show at the University. This flight was quite another matter that involved traversing the Atlantic Ocean, some turbulent air, and a queasy stomach that necessitated the flight attendants ushering me to the front of the cabin where they administered a spoonful of creme de menthe poured over a cube of sugar. Can you imagine that happening today? I am happy to report that the current flight, on the upper deck of a 747-400 was a much smoother affair, and that the flight crew was just as lovely and accommodating (no sugar cube required).

Only I could leave out the most important detail, my destination. I am the type who goes to the grocery store to shop for Thanksgiving dinner, and forgets the turkey.
My destination, Italy, of course, with a stop over in Paris on the way back. Thanks for paying attention…..
