First Madeleine vomited 9 times. The first as soon as we took off and then for the rest of the flight. We made our connection in Heathrow. I dragged Mad through the terminal to the Train station thinking the whole time..If we miss the TGV, there is always tomorrow. We did afterall have a hotel reservation. Here she is looking a little better on the train.
Little did we know that the stock market had broken 7,000 and there were 2 suicides and one collision with a car on the line that we were traveling. Our 4 hour train ride became 8. We arrived in our small town with no one at the station. Finally got an unhappy taxi driver roused to take us to a house that the address was not known. With tired french, explained all that was known about the house and a 3 a.m. arrival. Mad was much better in the morning and went to school at 8:30!
Should I tell of Jean's trip with 3 kids 3 days before ours. None of the kids slept a wink on the flight as they were so mezmerized with movies and games in their seats. Then when Jean got them on the TGV train for a 2 hour ride, Sam went to sleep 30 minutes before they arrived at their destination and was impossible to wake up. A comedic departure from the train!
