Vacation having come to an end, it’s time to hit the long and dusty. Paris is worth, among other things, another visit.
This is the part I like the least.
UPDATE:
Back in these USA!
Last leg.
It’s short.
About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

” Paris is worth, among other things, another visit.”
I see what you did there. ;-)
Au revoir, Paris.
I feel perhaps another London blognic at the Coal Hole is in order…

Thanks for the memories, Father! I don’t think that quotation is quite accurate, but, indeed, Paris is worth another visit and you have inspired me to do it after 13 years of hanging about in other places, like Rome.
Have a safe and smooth trip home!
Have a safe trip home.
Have a safe flight home, Father!
-John
God bless your flight. Flying is just a chore now.
It is, indeed, a chore.
Ah, but two weeks on a steamer was no treat, I’ll bet!
With prayers for your safe travels!

Really, be honest. Are you The Doctor? Wouldn’t it have been easier to take the Tardis?
The Tardis is not ready, but changes may be coming to commercial flying:
You’re flying with NASA and you don’t even know it, by Thom Patterson, CNN.
Hope it is a safe trip.
I’m with Mike: there’s a lot of unpleasant rigamarole in flying, but being able to get just about anywhere in the world within 24 hours at an attainable price is truly amazing.
