What is there to say about the day you go home after two weeks on the road? It was fantastic, but you miss your cat. Our flight was a bit after lunch, and CDG is a famously horrific airport, so we didn’t do much but finish packing and get some provisions for the flight. I was flying middle seat coach out of Paris; why would I eat the slop they intended to feed on that flight? I went to three different bakeries to load up on sweet and savory treats for the flight home. I was not hungry, but I realized I had not had a croque monsieur and picked one up to eat while shopping. The flight was without incident, and every time I was offered a meal, I shooed it away and plated myself a baked good straight from Paris. The vacation was over.
