Today was our travel day home and it would be over 25 hours before we would be able to go back to sleep.
After an ordeal finding the American Airlines ticket counter in the Charles de Gaulle airport (the French don't seem to believe in signage) we settled into our business class seats. The only person in business that was sick was across the aisle from me. Great!
Upon arriving in O'Hare airport we discovered they had had a fire in the control tower and some (quite a few actually) flights had been canceled. Luckily ours was not but we did have a scheduled six hour layover. Our flight to Richmond was delayed 1/2 hour and about one hour late getting to Richmond. We arrived with two other flights and that overloaded the Richmond airport causing us another 1/2 hour delay getting to the gate.
But we arrived safely and I didn't get sick from the flight so all was good.
