day 11 back to strasbourg

the taxi driver was another talkative bunch and apparently pretty funny guy. it took us no time to get to the airport.

it was packed with people in one section. when we went to check in, the lady at the desk said we were too earlier and told us to come back in an hour. with so much time to kill again, i went looking for something to eat and bought a yogurt for baby and a bottle of water. on the way back to where we were sitting. i had to go through the crowd again and heard a loud 'bang' and i can see some police scrambling. i quick pushed through the other side.

we checked in at around 6pm, but then we still have to go through the security. it was a mess up at the check point. i am sure they know what they are doing, but one security person would direct awhile some would be blocking the path. a mom with two kids was being searched awhile her little boy was crying standing on the table.

they do not really care for water. i had some water in baby's food bag, but that wasn't even search awhile in mama's carryon they saw something unusual and it was toothpaste.

i needed to go to the bathroom and i have to pay to get in. there was a lady sitting in front of the bathrooms collecting money with her collection dish out in front of her. jp didn't pay so she looked upset. it is her tip to clean the bathroom. it is just a pain to find coins when i was in urgent mode.

we were waiting to board and baby was asleep by then.

the plane was practically empty. we saw the same air stewartress on the way to paris and on the way back. i had to use their seat belt for baby. since he was sleeping it was much easier.

it was faster going back to strasbourg. in no time we were landing. i could see the hypermarket auchan out the window.

deplaning, jp took the air stewartress' carryon. LOL!!! she was in a panick that someone had took her stuff. on the way out i was wondering too why jp was carrying two carryons, but then i was so tired i didn't say anything. so she chased us and finally got her stuff back. papa was so embarrassed. it was just one of those situation that was so funny at the moment.
