Flying out of charles du Gaulle

I hate flying. wait, that is an understatement. i abhor flying. If man were meant to fly, God would have given him wings, just like Archemedes in the sword and the stone says. Any way, our flight was scheduled to leave at 10:40 a.m. We had to be there 3 hours early to go through airport security for which everyone is thankful(the security, not the 3 hours early). We got up at like 5:30 in the morning. For those of you who know me well, you will know that I hated that! I hate the morning!I am getting off track though! Anyway, we some how managed to get there 4 hours ahead of time. We got our luggage checked in in record time, and even though our baggages were over the regulated rate they still didn't charge us any thing extra. Thank you nice airport lady!After we ate a quick breakfast at the airport Mcdonalds. They had really good Egg Mcmufins! Then we went through the metal detector, and I didn't beep, even though I had braces! I was very happy about that! Cuz if you beep they frisk you, and I hate that! Good grief I'm starting to sound like Slimane! Unfortunately, my carryon bags with all my books and all my movies beeped and had to be opened and emptied for the security guards. that was annoying. you'll never believe why I beeped though. I had 3 rolls of wheat pennies in the very bottom of my bag. What a pain! There were books all over the place! When we got to the other side, my dad went to buy some chocolate at the duty free stores, and I watched the bags. then it was my turn to go. i got a comic book to read during the flight. It was a Mickey Parade. I am going to give it to John on wednesday. Well we got on the plane , and the stewardess was a real grump. She should have been fired! There were really no good movies during the flight, so I read my book, Kansas Brides. We arrived at JFK about 40 minutes ahead of time due to some tailwinds. It took forever for all of our baggage to get off the conveyor belt. we were able to catch an earluer bus to New Haven, and we arrived at my granparents house about 2 and a half hours before we were scheduled to. We ate delicious American pizza! I was so happy to see my mom and Johnny. Johnny has been making everyone listen to a country western cdfor the past 2 months and he sings like all 14 songs everytime we get in the car to go somewhere.It is so funny!
He goes" I wish I was, a teddy bear not livin or luvin or goin away! I wish I was a teddy bear, and i'm a wishin that I hadn't fallin in luv with youuuu". He is so cute. I was very tired at the end of that day, and I still have a little jet lag. Not cool.
