"Battle plans are the first Casualty of War".
We had "PLANNED " a trip to Mont Saint Michel, Omaha Beach, and Granville - the birthplace of Christian Dior as well as some medieval towns.
Things didn't do as planned, starting with the car rental. The actors in this part of the play are Trang Le (along with her ear muffs), Paul and Doreen (The driver navigator team), Jason (The camera lover from China).
Paul and Doreen went to get the car from CDG Airport well in advance to pick us up at 10:00AM. It took them longer than expected to rent the car. Now you must be wondering what is "Bacon". After Paul rented the car, he wanted to send a text msg to Trang that they are on the way. He wanted to say Bon (Good in French). I think he had T9 on so as soon as he entered B it showed him Bacon. While tring to change it, he sent the message by mistake. So, Bacon became our official word for Wow, Good and Voila of the trip. Whenever we found our way to place, restaurant.. or whenever we figured something out...It was BACON!!!.We finally started after lunch from HEC. Here is Trang and I at the start of the trip waiting for Paul and Doreen to pick us up.
Question for today: How many exchange MBAs does it take to fill petrol (Gas is called Petrol outside US) in France?
The French Gas Stations don't accept US credit cards. I think it is because the French Credit cards have a chip (Like the one in American Express Blue). It took us about 20-30 mins to fill the gas. Here are some pics (courtsey Jason) of me and Paul trying to find how to fill Petrol.
