We had five big bags to check (along with two bags each to carry on the flight), so the limo company sent a stretch limo. Very big, very grand, but also silly.

Our drive to the airport.
On the other side, arriving in Paris, the driver of a Mercedes SUV was able to fit all 11 pieces of luggage and the four of us. We were only a little bit scrunched. But the difference between USA and EU was evident.

So happy to be here.
