Ready for a big day, we were up at 5.30 am French time to catch the high speed train to Paris. We new our time line was reasonably tight to get from the train station to the airport. Everything went pretty well till we went to check in and we realised we had forgotten to sort out our entry passes to the US. Fortunately the staff at United took pity on us and helped us to get them done on line (Something they don't usually do) so we could still board our flight. By the time we got through security we only had minutes to spare till they closed the gates.
After arriving in Washington DC, were travelling to our hotel and could see the capital building and monument, it was one of those surreal moments when you realise you have been from to Paris to Washington in the same day. After tea we all headed to bed pretty early, about 9,00pm DC time as our bodies were still in Paris time which was 2.30am, all in all a pretty big day.
