MSH and I are in the “travel mode” and we have begun our big adventure for this year —
France 2024 - week 1
We left PDX on Sunday morning, May 26. Connecting at O’Hare, a Lufthansa rep sabotaged our “carry-on-only” plan by insisting we check our bags. Off we went to Munich, arriving at 1pm on Monday. After a short flight to Marseille, we arrived Monday evening...however, my bag decided to stay in Munich.
My new favorite travel accessory is Apple AIR TAGS. I was able to watch my bag for the next 24+ hours, first sitting in terminal 2, then moving to the building with shops & gates, then to the tarmac (baggage cart? plane?). After no location update for 2 hours, the tag arrived at the Marseille airport!
We are in Marseille for two days, including Notre Dame de Garde (views from the hilltop) and Chateau d’If (Count of Monte Christo). The Bouillabaisse was wonderful. Took a train to Avignon on Thursday, then drove a tiny Citroen to Nyons, our base for the next 11 days.
Friday we walked and had lunch in Vason de Romaine with friends from Eugene, then evening drinks with new friends from Scotland.
