Trip to France/Plane cancellations
8 years ago
~•♥•~ O boy where do I begin.
So I went on my trip to France on Thursday with the boyf and his family.
It was a lot of fun!
We went and saw all the major tourist destinations that everyone wanted to visit as well as picking up some souvenirs along the way (I caved and bought myself some Minnie ears at Disneyland Paris lmao).
We were supposed to head back home Sunday afternoon, but as some of you may have heard, England as well as several other places had other plans and decided to snow heavily the night before we needed to leave. Hundreds of flights were cancelled including ours which wasn’t cancelled until the very last minute while we were still waiting for it in the airport. The next flight we could get wasn’t until today in the morning, so we had to stay in France for two extra nights.
We also had to go back to the airport AGAIN after the first extra night because they couldn’t book us hotel rooms for both nights on the same night, resulting in us staying at three different hotels in total over the course of the trip.
There was also a crazy moment at the start of our holiday where my boyfriends Mum had her purse stolen by a young Romanian girl whilst we were catching the train to Paris. In a serious turn of luck, it turned out the station police had seen the whole thing, followed us onto the train and identified my boyfriends Mum as the victim whilst also catching the girl who stole her purse because she got on the same train as us. They’d already apprehended her before we’d even realised what the hell had happened.
Tl;dr, boyfs Mum got her purse back as well as fitting in a mini convo with the Romanian girl to call her a little bitch (angry Irish mums are funny).
Soooo yeah, it was a pretty crazy little weekend to say the least. Also idk what the hell it is about France but there’s CONSTANTLY emergency vehicles flying around the place making loads of noise. Also the human and vehicular traffic are pretty rude, the disabled access is shocking (boyfs Dad has multiple sclerosis) and apparently they have no concept of what actual hot food is and every pizza seems to have goats cheese on it.
All in all though, I enjoyed it.
But I’m super glad to finally be back home.

I'm so glad she got her purse back; I know from experience just how awful that can be. echk.
