So we left plenty of time to get to Bristol, we though. With the snow and how slow people drive / amt of wrecks, by the time we parked in long term and walked into the terminal we were 6 minutes past last check in time. After getting in line and waiting we were 12 min past check in time and they said sorry... only other flight out is tomorrow night and that will be another 90 pounds. No choice so that is what we did. Stayed in a tavern near the airport that had a cheap room (no heat and twin beds) and cheap parking to leave our car while were here. Spent today at the aquarium and drove around Bristol. It was fun and since the Imax was not working got free tickets to go back. It was nice to just sit and watch the fish. Our favorite was watching the Congo eels.
The flight to Paris was quick. It mad us made that we should have had plenty of time to board yesterday. We had checked in at 5:32 and our flight today did not finish boarding till 6:10. It was quick getting out of the airport as they barley looked at our passports and we had no luggage. Hopped a bus to the Opera district....which ended up being the wrong area so took a short cab to the hotel. It's a nice place. Small and actually quiet considering the area. Had dinner at a nearby braisser and now off to bed. Will update tomorrow night too.
