Aucuns Vols Faciles

(No Easily Flights)

Trip Update:
Nous avon (we have) acquired enough frequent flyer points to cover notre (our) round trip billets (tickets) to Paris ensuite été (next summer).  Je (I) can only imagine this is what it feels like when your stock vests.  It is actually kind of funny after spending mons (months) trying every random survey, trial membership and mailing list to acquire enough Delta miles to cover our flights and with one simple carte de credit (credit card) nous earned both of notre billets (our tickets) on British Airways.

But bout nuit (last night) nous realized a petit catch in notre (our) plan.  Though British Airways flies out the Charlotte aéroport (airport), which is only une heure et demi (an hour and half) away, one can not book a vol (flight) using reward points from this aéroport.  The closest aéroport that nous can book from is in Atlanta, Georgia, cinq heures (five hours) away.  Not all is lost Daniel has cousins there, who may be getting a phone call for a favor et (and) nous will just add un jour ou deux (a day or two ) to the trip.  Je sais (I knew) this was being way too easy.

Oh and Delta has recently reconfigured their reward flights so the it takes substantially plus (more) miles to qualify for a international flight.  The strange silver lining to this nuage (cloud) is that is only vingt pour cent plus (20% more) miles to qualify for a first class billet (ticket) on the same vol (flight).  So who knows nous may be fly out on BA and back first class on Delta?  It would mange (eats) up most of notre miles but je bet nous pas (we will not) being taking a trip like this for awhile.  Je vous tiendrai courant (I will keep you informed).


Aujourd'hui (today) I had one of my worst jours (days) of Frenching to date.  I always score badly on the écrit (writing) section and it is not unusual to have to work that section trois (three) times before je receive a passing score and that is fine.  Je ne peux pas ( I can't spell) in English why would je think it would be any better in Français.  But, aujourd'hui je (today I) scored a zéro! Je have never scored that badly, don't get moi (me) wrong j'ai eu (I have had) some really bad scores but never a zéro.  Ce jour (that day) off really did not pay off.
