When I said I was going to crash until morning I was really thinking later in the morning than midnight!  They woke us up a little while ago with the strongest coffee I’ve had in quite a while.  Fortunately it also came with cream and sugar and I have been able to get it down. They also gave us a cute breakfast ‘snack’ that was more than I normally eat. Croissant, yogurt, cheese and a cookie. Also orange juice and a mini mentos mint. Those suckers are small when normal sized, this one is really just a baby. 

Karin has suggested cafe au lait and chocolate croissants during our 4 hour layover in Paris followed by a little shopping.  I’m being told the airport is fabulous, so I’m looking forward to experiencing it.  The nerves are calmer than before – I’m remembering how to fly. It’s been long enough that I had trouble ordering wine in Minneapolis. They’ve replaced servers with iPads!  The bartender came around and very nicely showed me how to do everything.  Wave of the future I guess.
