Paris Part 1

Ok, so Part One of my plan has failed.  Because of a problem with landing (air traffic control had us too close to the plane in front of us, so we had to abort our landing and circle around to try again), we didn't get in until about 10:45. By the time we got through immigration it was almost 11:30.  I wanted to check with EasyJet to see if I could check my bag early, but I misread my boarding pass and took a long, unnecessary walk and a train ride to the wrong terminal.  And when I did eventually get back to the right terminal, they said I could only check it two hours prior to flight. So.

I could take a train (30 minutes) to where I could catch the tourist bus, and there is supposedly a left luggage office there, but the tour is 2 hours, 20 minutes. Then reclaiming my bag, train back, and security before my 6:00 pm flight. It's 12:45 now.  I guess it could be done, but I would rather not risk it.

Plan B is to do the tour when I get back to Paris on the 24th.  I will get here at noon, and have nowhere to be until the next morning. So I could go to my hotel and drop my bag, then take the train in to the city. Much less pressure. Another consideration is that, at this point, I have been up nearly 24 hours, with little sleep on the plane.  Taking the bus today could turn into a really expensive nap.

So I'll stay at CDG and enjoy some people watching, free wifi, and a baguette. C'est la vie!

EDIT:  it turns out it was a good thing I didn't do the bus today - it rained. Also good, the unnecessary  walk and train to the wrong terminal served a purpose after all.  There is a geocache in one of the parking lots on the train route. So after I dropped my bag at EasyJet, I trooped on back to get it.

Unfortunately, this is a close as I got to Paris - but I know CDG airport like the back of my hand.
