Whoa...well, after spending a month in France I'm having a bit of a time of it getting adjusted to San Diego time again. And that journey home; we stayed at CDG overnight with a 7am flight to LHR, which helps as we don't have to get up early. But then there's the 5 1/2 layover at Heathrow and then the 11 hour flight home. Which is why we fly business class. Though we didn't account for the fussy baby in the seat behind us, these things happen....so even with the lie flat seats...well, I got maybe an hours sleep?
On the positive side; I'd say that the meals on BA have returned to pre-Covid quality. And it's always been much better flying back to San Diego, than flying from SD to LHR. This was pretty good.
One of the things with leaving for a month is...well, the fridge and pantry were cleaned out before we left. We arrived home at around 6pm; it was already dark. In need of something convenient with a little zip, I did a takeout order from Sizzling Pot King. Funny thing; it was in the high 20's when we left Paris, so weather here in the 40's didn't bother me much, it was basically short sleeve weather, so I got some looks when I waltzed into Sizzling Pot King; seeing all those folks bundled up looking at me like I'm some nut wearing a t-shirt. Even the young man who knows my order looked at me strangely.
Anyway, we had the usual for dinner.
It was nice and decently spicy; with a mild "numbing" from the Sichuan Peppercorns...but I'm not sure if it was all the Sichuan we had in Paris; but this seemed to be missing something. Oh well, at the least it did the job.

And I quickly reverted back to my wimpy "San Diego weather" self......though for some strange reason, I feel somewhat out of sorts with regards to manners, pacing, and such.
I'm working on getting my act together and will have posts done.
Meanwhile.....even after a month....this is still on my mind!
Thanks for stopping by!
nice!

A month in France sounds damn epic but I'm sure you're glad to be home! (That BA flight is terrific in CW - the worst part for us was waiting for our bags here in San Diego!)

What a great vacay! I must say that BA don't serve that kind of food to those of us back in the cattle car. I may have to consider an upgrade next visit over to London. Welcome home!

We had fun Kat!
It was indeed epic James! And we do enjoy Club World on BA.
It's well worth the extra cost to us Kenneth!
I'm back to being a SD weather wimp Junichi!
