We are about to board our flight from Paris to Seattle.

We traveled to Paris with Allan & Evan. We are good friends, though a week of travel stresses everyone. The husband and I would love to come back again, but without travel partners. 

Not all of us are good at directions or leading. Allen worries us. He would offer to look up directions and do so on his phone. Then he would take off and we would follow. Things would get confusIng. As near as we can figure, Allen would ignore the actual directions and just walk, with great certainty, in the direction of the crowd.  After a few sudden changes, the rest of us would realize we were not heading in the right direction. We'd gently need to take over-- Allen does not take correction easily.

By day two, we stopped listening to Allen's offers of direction.
