We made it! Woo hoo!! Detroit airport has a way cool fountain that shoots different jets of water.. I'll have to post pictures. It also has a train that runs up on the second story that you can take to get from gate A1 to gate A77 because 77 gates is a LONG way. Cam had fun riding that. Our gate was right next to a Starbucks so I took full advantage of that. Finally, after an almost 5 hour layover, we boarded our Airbus A330, got all ready to leave, even did the 'Flight attendants, prepare for takeoff' bit and then the captain came on and told us that someone had found a hydraulic leak and the mechanics were fixing it and they were expecting a one hour delay. Just about an hour later, paperwork was signed and we were good to go! 'Flight attendants prepare' again and then the captain came on and said there was another leak and we would be delayed a little longer. In the meantime I really needed a bathroom!! Shortly after that, the captain informed us that his warning light was incorrect and the leak was indeed fixed and ready to go. Now, I know those are good mechanics out there, but I was scared during that take off! Thankfully, all was fine. We had our own tv screens in the back of the headrests and Paige and I watched Ice Age 2 - The Meltdown. We had fun.
Our apartment here has an awesome view of Sacre Coeur! I can't wait to see it all lit up at night. Jeff took pictures, but the lucky guy is now sleeping. I wish I was asleep, but Cam is seriously going strong. We walked around a bit today and then came back for an early night. Cam has a different opinion, however.
I will try to post pictures tomorrow, but I have to manage them away from Jeff.
Oh, it's hot here! And humid. I expected warm, but this is definitely beyond my idea of warm.
