Finally sitting on an Air France plane, though unspecified errors mean we won't be taking off for about another half hour. But atleast we're now more or less assured of getting to Paris today - more than a day late, but atleast in time to hopefully enjoy our hotel, have a nice dinner, and perhaps do a bit of shopping. Though of course, if the city has really been ground to a standstill, I'll settle for a good sleep, and then getting fancy macarons from the duty free catalogue on our flight home. I'm way past ready for this trip to be over.
Today was another day full of frustration. Dealing with massive lineups, several delays, switched gates, a lack of lunch vouchers (ended up with shawarma again - eventually), and then an unannounced slighly earlier than expected boarding (it was like "where did that crowd suddenly go - there's no plane out there?". Turned out there were shuttles on the ground) wears on the nerves, but the worst part was again the complete lack if information from Air France. Again, we sit in the terminal, have our first delay announced, only to have no Air France staff to explain anything. Sitting here on the plane, it seems like the crew is pretty in the dark too - it's just a massive storm of confusion.
Anyways, hopefully I'll soon be posting this from our hotel in Paris in a few hours. If I have to spend another night in Casablanca I might lose what little mellow I've been able to regain.
