Getting Here

Our first flight (1hr in length) left out of Abha at 10:45pm Wed night...which meant it was going to be a long trip but an even longer night! Our second flight from Jeddah to Paris left at 1:30 am Thur and was slated to come in under 6 hrs. What a nightmare that leg was. Out TVs weren't working so watching movies was out. We were of course in coach so there was no way to adequately lean back enought to sleep. Saudia Airlines is always good about providing sleep masks, socks, blankets and pillows, but sleep just didn't really happen for any of us. On top of that, when Kellan finally did fall asleep around 2:30 am, he awoke not much later with night terrors. Miserable!

Anyway, arrived in PARIS at 6:30 am,  gathered our luggage and transitioned quickly thru customs. The first thing we encountered after customs was an intl Christmas tree. What an exciting sight after Saudi!

 We were met by our driver and off we went to our hotel. We worked with Marcel, our front desk rep, and he was really took care of us! Check-in wasn't until 3:00 and it was 7:30, and he found a free room and let us check in right away! He was a godsend! After eating a continental buffet breakfast in our hotel, we immediately got comfortable and laid down for naps! We all woke up feeling pretty good around 11:30. We had planned on going to Disneyland Paris Sat, but the weather was holding,
so we said what the hey and headed to DL. It was cold and drizzled for brief periods a couple of times, but we were well prepared with hats, gloves, scarves, double layers of pants, etc.

We got every ride we wanted to ride done, and the wait times were really short!
 We stayed until closing, then jetted back to our hotel for happy hour! Tired with drinks in our bellies, we're watching intl TV in bed and planning on sleeping in!
