Just bitchin'

Here has been my day:

Woke up long before the sun, which really isn't saying much in Paris because the sun doesn't even rise until 9:00 am, at an ungodly 6:30 am. We were picked up by Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and driven to the Paris International Airport. Mentally preparing ourselves for the 11 hour flight ahead of us to Dallas, we boarded the plane. 20 minutes later, a heavy french accent comes on the speaker and informs us that the fog is too bad and we won't be able to depart until it clears. Moans and groans fill the cabin and the ethereal voice commands us to stay in out seats.
Over an hour later, we are preparing to take off.
I have spent over 14 hours today sitting on my ass. And my ass is not happy about it.
We finally make it back to the US and I am now writing to you from the Dallas airport. Because of the delay in Paris, we missed our connecting flight set to depart at 6:00 pm to Denver by mere moments. We are now on the flight that leaves Dallas at 9:40.
So, we are trapped in this god forsaken airport WITHOUT ANY WIFI, without our luggage (which I pray to baby Jesus made it back to Denver without us), and without any sleep.
My day has been long, we have been up for over 24 hours and all I have eaten is crap.
I loved our Paris trip, it is by far one of my favorite cities. However, traveling abroad is not something I plan on doing lightly or frequently in the future. I would be 100 pounds heavier and I would have ripped my hair out many times over.
I can't wait to be home in my own bed.
