Getting Back to Normal

It has taken a few days to readjust to the local time zone. On New Years, Lindsey and I went to bed, exhausted, at 11pm. The next day, we fell asleep at 10pm. We are trying to last past 9pm tonight.
The plane ride home was a long trip. We flew from Nice to Paris, Paris to Atlanta, and Atlanta to Orange County. We awoke and traveled to the Nice Airport to ensure we would arrive two hours before our plane left. The local airline people looked at us like we were mad. We were really early for our flight; everyone else arrived about an hour before the flight.
Flying from Nice to Paris and Paris to Atlanta was on Air France flights (for Delta). Leave to the french to not settle for traditional airline food. The meals were really good and plentiful. Lindsey took advantage of the champagne service with dinner.
Customs at Atlanta was a nightmare. The process was very slow, although we did not get detained. Just when we think we cleared the big hurdle when you passed through customs, we run into the security check point that was grossly understaffed. The line-ups were incredibly long and I am sure that between customs and security many people missed their flights in Atlanta. These days, I strongly recommend anyone flying international into the US with a transfer that they leave atleast 3 hours to make their flight.
