Try again tomorrow….

Well…after a day of speaking to people, exploring options and taking a cat nap here and there we are lined up to try again tomorrow.  We are listed for tomorrow’s flight back departing Paris at 10:15am.  Fortunately, we are staying in the airport hotel so getting there in the morning will be easier.   The problem is, Paris is heading into holidays where parts of the city will rotate on being unavailable.   The students in Paris are also beginning a 14 day school break.  So that explains the mad rush out of Paris and why so many flights are booked right up.  There are some options but most of them involve price tags of around $7000 and cutting through the US.  So, we’ll chalk this up as another learning experience…..”check the local events calendar to find out what’s going on that could affect our plans”.  Flying stand-by/companion has certainly saved us a lot of expenses and we are both very appreciative of that.  But this is the price to be paid for saving on the other end.  It’s all still very worth it though.  It can certainly be frustrating and the multiple times we have to line up and then race through passport check and customs is not fun.

BUT….the situation made it possible to travel to so many places, even if we were just passing through to see a lot.  While tiring, this trip was educational, informational and very enjoyable.  For someone like me who has never left North America, this trip really opened my eyes to other cultures and places making this one heck of an experience.  The ruins in Athens and Turkey were really neat to see.  Experiencing traffic congestion in other countries makes me look at our own GTA congestion a little differently.  I find it very interesting how the ediquette and mannerisms on the roads in Greece, Turkey and Paris are.  So, while I am ready to come home, this challenge we find ourselves in today is worth the trouble.  I would not want to give back my experiences over the past couple of weeks for anything.  And I have Deniz and her parents to thank immensily for all of this – thank you!

I’ll try to update you all as soon as I can tomorrow on our success of catching a flight back.  If there’s an update, chances are the news isn’t good.  But if there isn’t one for a while then hopefully when an update appears it will say we’re home.

  1. Dearest Mark and Deniz,
    Both your parents and we are like deflated baloons today. Since we go through this “try again” experience every time we travel, I know what it is like and through your experience on this trip, we have also learned to check and recheck the local events. Lets hope your luck turns tomorrow and you start planning another trip on the way back home. We’ll keep in touch, I love you for being such a positive person.

  2. We know where that positivity took root, and it’s so wonderful to be around.

    The good news, is, you will both eventually be back home again, soon.

    Hugs,
