We flew out of Paris the next day, after three weeks of travel. It took less time to get from our hotel in Paris to the airport (via subway and train) than it took to get through the various Northwest Airlines lines once we got there. We arrived back in Seattle in the late afternoon, about 24 hours after we got up, but that wasn't quite the end. Tom stopped off in Redmond on the way home to play goalie for his Lake Sammamish Soccer Club team (and lost, 4-3).
