We finally arrived in Lourdes late Thursday evening. This is promising to be an eventful trip. All went well in Toronto until the electrical power went down in the plane as we were settling in. Needless to say we wondered if they would make us get out and change planes. It didn't happen and we took off. All went smoothly until an hour or so from landing in Frankfort when a lady stood and passed out. Joanne tried to hold her but needed more assistance. They called for medical assistance and a physician came to her rescue. We were wondering if we would have to make an emergency landing. The doctor stayed with her until we landed. She actually walked from the back of the plane where we were to the front. Then we are ready to leave for Toulouse when we are informed that our plane is delayed for at lease an hour due to the airport shutting down one of its two runways. That was on top of a five hour layover. There was a good tailwind and the pilot made up for the delay a we were happy to see Andre's face (our chauffeur), by close to ten we were sitting down to a lovely supper and then straight to bed. That was Day 1 and 2 in a capsule!! To be continued. Happy Easter to all!
