Finally in France, I'm a Happy Girl :)

I have made it safe and sound to France, with a few complications... I started out with a flight to Brussels on what was supposed to be "Air Brussels" but what turned out to be "Etihad Airways" which I believe is a Arabian owned airline...
At first I thought... "wow... this is gonna be sketchy..." As I checked in my luggage, it turns out that I had to take a shuttle bus to the gate that the plane was leaving from... Again... I thought... kinda sketchy... Then when I arrived, 3/4 ppl waiting for the same flight were Arab or Indian. So that was kinda weird... But whatever, I waited and boarded the plane at around 11, and man was I pleasantly surprised!!
The interior of this plane was GORGIOUS! As I walked down the isle to find my seat, it turns out that every single person got their own television screen. Now I've been flying a lot lately, but never have I been in such an amazing aircraft. As I sat down, on an isle seat in the middle, it turned out that there was no one sitting in 2 out of the three seats beside me... Yet another bonus. So I got settled in, the seats were extremely comfortable.
I was expecting no meal on this flight because on my ticket is said that there wasn't one. Yet another surprise came my way... Not only were they gonna be serving food, but they were gonna serve a gourmet dinner with an appetizer a main course and desert, and breakfast... The flight attendants (who were extremely nice I must add) Started handing out menus, because not only did you get a gourmet meal, but you got to choose what you were gonna eat from a menu. Very surprised I started to wonder if maybe my ticket had been messed up and I accidentally got into first class.. but I wasn't even in first class... Before the incredibly good and huge meal they served, they handed everyone a little sleep package. It was a little pouch which contained a traveling toothbrush and toothpaste, sleeping ox a sleeping mask and ear plugs... That was funny in it's self.
Finally the meal... I had a choice between chicken, lamb or pasta. I (of course) chose the chicken. This meal was huge! It came with an appetizer of teriaki salmon on a bed of lettuce, the main dish of chicken and rice with a really good Indian sauce mixed with cooked veggies, and a desert of blueberry cheesecake. Wines, beer and other alcoholic beverages were served as well. I decided that since I was hoping to sleep I would get a nice white wine. This meal was much larger then what I could eat, but was really good.
After dinner I found out from my neighbor across the isle that there were video games you could play. I had so much fun playing those. There were also tonnes of movies to choose from and CD's as well. Lots of TV shows were also there too. But then I got tired and slept a little... I'm not sure for how long, but I woke up to the stuardiss standing beside me with a tray of different juices. I took a pineapple, and it was actually just what I needed cause I was really thirsty. Then I slept some more and woke up again to them serving breakfast. Still full from dinner, I didn't eat much of it. Then I watched a movie, and slept some more, and then I had arrived in Brussels.
This is where the complications happened.
My gate # was written on my ticket already, and I had checked it when I arrived at the airport to make sure that it was still the same. It was, so I went to my gate and waited for my plane to board. I waited a while, and finally it came time where I thought I should have been getting on the plane already. So I went and asked the lady and she said that my plane had already boarded and it was too late.
Then I had to go rebook another flight and pay 175 Euros for another one leaving 5 hours from then. SOOO annoying. So I waited in the airport for 5 hours until my next plane came at 7pm.
Finally I was on my way to Geneva. When I arrived, I waited forever in the line up at the customs, and almost had my luggage taken away cause it took so long for me to get out. Then I got my luggage and waited maybe 5 minutes, and Mac was there.
And now, here I am. Happy to be back in France, and with Mac again. Life could not be better...
