The Grandmas Are Here!!

Posted 20.March, back-dated to be in chronological order.

After a lot of build up, we finally arrived in Paris and found ourselves working our way over to Charles De Guall airport to pick up our moms. Their flight arrived at 8:40 AM, meaning we left our campground at 6:45 AM. I told them to wait for us at baggage claim, completely forgetting that you must retrieve your baggage prior to clearing customs.

About an hour after their flight arrived, they emerged from customs. Unfortunately, they had been inside, trying to call us from the public pay phones for 30 of those minutes. I don't think we even had the phone with us! Everyone was relieved to clear all of this up and we started moving luggage toward the RER. Got "The Grandmas" (as they are now re-named) 5-day public transit passes for zones 1-6 and started off to their hotel at Disneyland.

Proof our moms have been on the subway!

The hotel had them booked in a room with a king-sized bed. I helped plead their case, and after a few no's, followed by phone calls, I'm pleased to report that the Disney Princess Hotel upgraded our moms to a very nice two room suite and two king beds. They each had their own bedroom and a very luxurious bathroom (jacuzzi tub, robes, slippers, etc.). I honestly felt a little jealous - that jacuzzi tub looked mighty inviting.

We ate a late lunch together and made plans to meet the next day ... hoping they would sleep well and that jet lag wouldn't hit too hard.

Tired bunch, love the tall tables!

Ciao!
