Paris to Cork Travel Day

Time to change countries again. Even Lilly is in on the self-sufficient action of travel days, watching and following along to help the group. She loves pushing the suitcases and 9 out of 10 times, she's moving them in a helpful direction.

Our driver was right on time and made for a super easy transfer to the airport.

Charles de Gaulle airport gets an A+ for efficiency, kindness and cleanliness. Signs week mark everything and even with the extra step of needing to verify the infant, checking in was super smooth. Also- all luggage checking is self-service. Hooray for Air France for making this simple process super efficient! Plus, the kids LOVED scanning, tagging and loading our luggage in the conveyor belt.

Security was thorough but incredibly calm. Somehow one of the biggest airports we've been through felt like one of the emptiest thanks to their brilliant flow of people and processes. While there was no bending of the rules, I left feeling well taken care of by the security people. A rare thing, indeed. And then after we were done and everything was collected, they gave activity books to the kids!
