Stranded in Paris

So if you're delayed by the line at the passport check that causes you to miss your flight, then the airline won't wait for you and you're SOL. That's what happened to us. We got to the gate 2 minutes after they closed it but refused to let us in to stay on schedule. Adding more salt to the wound, the airline couldn't pay for our hotel because we had one hour and twenty minutes to connect (supposedly they used to do it when it was one hour and thirty minute connections, but now it's 59 minutes).

Below is my first photo in Paris. It was taken while waiting for the hotel shuttles. On the way there we saw Paris Hilton (not the person). Har har!
