The Dragon Has Landed!

This is the 4th time I'm trying to post this blog. Figuring out how things work here in this part of the world takes some adjustment, BUT we're here now after starting out at LA, then Chicago, then Brussels and finally Marseilles. Our travel was non-eventful and all of our luggage arrived with us which is actually amazing considering all of our transfers.

Clay and I are still pinching ourselves to make sure this isn't all a dream. Marseilles, so far, reminds us of Dana Point with the weather right now (the temperature and humidity are comfortable) and marina, which is where our hotel Sofitel is located. There are interesting fort-like structures nearby and hopefully tomorrow, when we go on a tour before being taken to our boat on the Rhone, we'll find out what those structures are. There is also a Notre Dame Cathedral which we've heard has a wonderful view of Marseilles' port, also known as the Gateway to Africa.

I have to post one final picture I took on our flight from Brussels to Marseilles. Normally, there's a section for corporate travelers called Business Class and this flight was no different. Notice, though, where the sign identifying this section is located, and how large the section is:

That sign is located on the aisle seat of the first row! I must've been tired but I was greatly amused by this. The flight attendant had an easy job serving pre-flight drinks to 4 people.
