Novotel in Amsterdam

We're tucked up in the Novotel Hotel, by the airport. Had a lovely meal and now we're going to get some well earned rest.

Air France Rocks (no pun intended!)

We left LAX on our 10 hour Air France flight - somewhat jaundiced from our previous airline experiences. However Air France proved to be delightful with great staff, a truly excellent meal an a smooth and uneventful flight. With the added bonus of actual bona-fide SLEEP for 6 hours in the middle of the flight.

We arrived at CDG airport in Paris, and there was a short transfer to our next flight (which was Air France again) to Amaterdam. Although only a short flight, we were treated to a lovely supper of salmon locks, mini-croissant with cream cheese and some cream cookies that I really want the recipe for!

Our next task is to find a hotel in Amsterdam as our Kilimanjaro flight won't be leaving till 10am tomorrow. Now if I remember right, hotels wih red lights in the doorways mean vacancies... right ?

It's 10pm and we're setting off for 10 hours of high-altitude fun! Next stop Charles de Gaul airport, France. TTFN.

Spending 'time' on the west coast.

We have spent the entire day on the west coast not getting any closer to our destination. In the sage words of Senca (49AD) "It is a small part of life we really live. Indeed, all the rest is not life but merely time."
Right now we're just biding time - waiting for life to resume!

Making the best of a bad thing...

We are whiling away 7 hours at LAX before our 10 1/2 hour flight to France.

Not a good start!

It's 10.30am and we're supposed to be at 40,000ft however our first flight has been delayed which means we can't make any of the other connections. So, we're back at check-in!! We'll keep you posted.

Night before Flight

Sarah's sending off last minute emails from Todd's apartment. We're off tomorrow and in some ways the flights are more daunting than the climb! (Almost 24 hours in the air!)
We're really excited, but now it's time for a few hours of sleep before the 'ordeal'.
