Life east of \”30 West\”

So I’m at home this evening packing for the TOE (trans oceanic experience) trip.

I guess I’m a little more careful packing for the trip because it’s not like if I forget something, that I can hop down to the “Monoprix” and find exactly what I left behind in the US.

Basically, tomorrow, I’m flying from PHX to CVG to position for the trip. Then the next evening, I meet up with Staplegun and the training Captain for my flight to Paris.

It’s pretty exciting. It’s a 48 hour layover at a great hotel in Paris so I’m bringing Kristie along. The only ‘catch’ is that I’ll be on a private van, inaccessible to ‘civilians’ and Kristie’s riding the RER down to central Paris. She’s done it before a million times in Paris, but it’s just a wee bit different leaving your wife behind at the airport.

Tomorrow, I’ll most likely study for the Paris flight enroute to Cincinnati, reviewing the things I learned during the two-day transoceanic crash course so the check airman doesn’t think that I’m a COMPLETE idiot when it comes time to pick up the North Atlantic Track message, etc.

So stay tuned!
