Paris!

So the trip to Paris started off great. We (my family and I, so three people) left our house at fiveish to go to the airport which is an hour or so away. We got lost on our way there, the check-in time was 6:30, funny thing was it was already 6:10. Before we got to the airport we were caught by one of them cameras speeding. When we got to the airport we couldn't find a parking space, 5 min till check-in closes. We run from the car to the airport, now where too? Well we find the check-in counter at 6:28, close call but we made it. Now then we find the gate and board, it was a nice trip to Paris. We get off the plane and everything is still good, until we get our bags. There was nothing wrong with the bags them self's but we where stuck on the airport. We did not have any way of leavening, by this time it was already 11ish at night, there is no time difference. We get tickets for the train and get on the train. YAY! Ya right. We manage to get to the right street and walk, with the bags (two giant ones) to our hotel. I went to sleep at 12 ish, maybe 1.
Next morning
Get up at nine, get dressed and all that jazz and eat breakfast. We leave for the Eifel tower. There we meet some pick-pocket people and have a nice chat about a ring that we had apparently lost, nothing is stolen. After that encounter we head for the Louvre, yes all while walking. After seeing the Mona Lisa we went to the Arch de Triumph. Exiting.
Sunday
We went to the Notredame and some where else.
Monday
We went shopping with the bags that we had with us, we checked out of the hotel. I got a new pair of trousers and a shirt. Dad went to his meeting thing and my mommy and me went back to Notredame and did some more shopping there, got three scarves and souvenirs for Mary-Sue, Sheena and Nou. Then we got to the airport at 5. Then the plane was at the wrong gate and so they had to get the police to make sure no one did anything while we went through the place where normally only airport people are supposed to go. On the plane, a nice shaky flight back. And then on our way out of the park house the ticket doesn't want to work, after half and hour we leave the airport. We arrive home at 12 ish around 1 maybe.
And that was the exiting trip I, Tinker, had.
