- in lobby @ 6:20 for coffee
- 6:30 shuttle only takes 10 minutes
- Air France is Delta partner

- 11 am – one hr drive to Arles
- van has air conditioning
- 12:30 nice wine with lunch in the lounge

What I DON’T LIKE
- overslept and fly out of bed @ 5:55
- coffee is really bad
- Air France wants to charge us 55 Euro for being over by 4 kilos – we can have 3 bags and only have 2
- cappuccino is really small – really only a half cup
- Arles airport pickup – crammed into 8 passenger van
Roman Amphitheater in Arles
FF (FUN-Fact) – The moon hit my eye like a big pizza pie – that’s amore!
Not so FF (FUN-fact) – Rome in the summer is filled with tourists and the lines are very long like Disneyland. Glad I was already here in the 90’s.
