  • in lobby @ 6:20 for coffee
  • 6:30 shuttle only takes 10 minutes
  • Air France is Delta partner

  • always carry a foldable flat bag
  • put overweight items in it & save 55 Euros
  • good cappuccino only costs 1.40 Euro

What I DON’T LIKE

  • overslept and fly out of bed @ 5:55
  • coffee is really bad
  • Air France wants to charge us 55 Euro for being over by 4 kilos – we can have 3 bags and only have 2
  • cappuccino is really small – really only a half cup
  • Arles airport pickup – crammed into 8 passenger van

Roman Amphitheater in Arles

FF (FUN-Fact) – The moon hit my eye like a big pizza pie – that’s amore!

Not so FF (FUN-fact) – Rome in the summer is filled with tourists and the lines are very long like Disneyland. Glad I was already here in the 90’s.
