Je suis arrivé

We started the traveling off with lunch of grilled rib eye at Google New York.


As Butch will soon learn, comparing the food at the Google offices is an important part of Google travel.  Until this point, New York is still the best with Boulder running a close second.  Zurich is by far the worst.  I'm still trying to forget the chicken skewers.

The subway ride to JFK included some pole dancing entertainment.


Butch found them very annoying while I was amused. That's the difference between Butch and I.  My bar for a good ride on the E train is set firmly at "did not witness anyone pooping on the train."

After an uneventful flight, we have arrived safely in Paris.  Butch finally enjoyed a flight with a seat that turns into a little bed. It took some coaxing to get him to try it out.  "Your seat turns into a bed." "I'm good." "You're weird. It's a little bed." "Don't touch the buttons with numbers on them." "Wait. Are you snoring?"

The only problem we had was paying for the train tickets at the airport.  As anyone who has ever traveled with me knows, if there is a train option then I will take it.  Love trains.  We tried like 4 machines and could not figure out how to buy the tickets.  My card was possibly getting rejected. Not sure.  We finally had to go to a human to complete the transaction.

Staying at the R Hotel in the 9th arrisdonment.  The only thing the hotel has going for it is its close proximity to the Google office.

Trying to stay awake until a decent hour tonight so I can be well rested for rest of the week.

Until tomorrow...
