9/15/10 -We made it to Paris!

Well, our trip was uneventful (but gruelling)!
We took a taxi from the airport to the hotel.
The traffic was worse than L.A.! Thank God for taxi drivers.
We checked into the Courtyard by Marriott around 2pm.
Spent the rest of the afternoon visiting the Eiffel Tower,
riding subways and a sightseeing bus. Going to bed early!
