Arriving in Bordeaux

We left Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon at 3 pm. There was a bit of a scramble because we thought we were leaving on Monday, but discovered on Saturday afternoon that we were off by one day! Oops! But we were able to get packed and head down to LA and make our flight on time. Thank goodness!

The flight was great. That new Airbus A380 is a gem! We were in Economy Plus so we had a little extra room and it really made a difference.

Neither of us sleep well on planes, but we managed to get maybe 2 or 3 hours. There was very little turbulence on our flight. This is what our seats looked like:

We arrived in Paris at 11 am and had a 2 hour layover. Our flight to Bordeaux was on time and only 1 hour. So we arrived in Bordeaux around 3 pm and caught an Uber to our VRBO apartment. Our apartment is right in the downtown area in the Theater District. It's in a great spot.

The apartment itself is nothing special. But the location is fantastic.



We got settled into our apartment and our son, Trey, met us to show us around. We walked around the town a little bit and saw a few sights. Bordeaux is situated on the Garonne River, which you can see below:

Then we went to dinner at a great little Brasserie:
