I’ve finally arrived here in Paris. It has been a very long journey—I never knew that travelling could be so tiring!

I got a taxi to take me to the airport yesterday morning. I had to 【小题1】 two hours before the time on my ticket. I gave the airline my luggage, and got my boarding pass. Then I had to go through security. There, a serious woman checked inside my other bags. After that, I still had an hour left, so I looked around some shops in the airport. I bought myself a magazine and some 【小题2】 for the trip.

I had never been on a plane before, so once I sat down I listened carefully to all the safety instructions. Then the plane took off. I was 【小题3】 to a window, so I was able to watch the ground slowly disappear.

The journey took ten hours, all the way from New York to Paris. I was given dinner and breakfast, and watched a couple of interesting movies on the plane. When we arrived, I had to remember the time difference-the time in Paris is six hours ahead of New York and I had to change my watch from midnight to six in the morning. I missed a whole night!

After we 【小题4】 and got off the plane, we went to find our bags. I was happy because I found my luggage quite quickly. The woman 【小题5】 me on the plane was not so lucky-her luggage was sent to a different place!

I took the bus into Paris, as the airport is actually almost an hour away from the city center, I then had to carry my heavy luggage down onto the underground, and travel three stops to get to my hotel.

Now I am going to sleep, because I am tired. It was a long journey, but I think I am really going to have a great holiday in Paris.
