Notes Actions
Brent and I left the campsite first thing this morning to catch the 9:30 train to Paris. Laura and Ann followed two hours later. We all walked over to the RER B station together and went to check in at our hotel at CDG. Who would have guessed that there would be two IBIS hotels beside each other!!?? We started off at the wrong one but the helpful desk lady quickly helped us to correct our error.

We then went to the airport terminal, per Ann’s suggestion, to see about sourcing stuff boxes there. The luggage storage guy didn’t sell boxes but he advised that there’s a Safebox in each terminal (the guy who wraps luggage). We found a Safebag guy and he sold us two boxes. Laura and I are pondering having our panniers wrapped instead of getting boxes.
