April Showers

Paris - Strasbourg - Prague

Before starting my regular Boston posts, I thought I would share one picture from each city I visited on my recent vacation.

PARIS

STRASBOURG

PRAGUE

Paris Interruptus

This is our plane being readied and loaded for the scheduled flight to Paris. Upon checking the aircraft prior to boarding, damage was discovered on the nose of the plane, which was caused by impact with a bird. The airline decided to ground the plane and cancel the flight until replacement parts could be flown in from Paris.

Below is a closer look at the dimple on the nose of the jet. I, along with over 360 fellow passengers were quite dismayed when the flight was canceled. However, I was able to call Air France and was booked on an Aer Lingus flight leaving at 6:20pm the next night, which was great because it is school vacation week and ALL FLIGHTS are booked. I really appreciate all of the people at Air France who, either on the phone or at the terminal, were extremely helpful and courteous under very stressful circumstances. Now on to Dublin for my connecting flight to Paris.
