the pleasures of travel planning

I am stuck in a cloud of indecision in the process of buying my tickets for my trip to Egypt/Paris etc--my adventure to visit Hannah in Alexandria and then get my puppy from Julia Grant's Canouan kennel http://www.canouan.co.uk/ in Segolas (Lot et Garonne, east of Bordeaux). Turns out the fast train BACK from Bordeaux to Paris Charles DeGaulle airport will not get there with enough time for me to safely check in the 9 week old puppy for the American Airlines nonstop flight to Chicago, so I will have to stay in a hotel near Charles DeGaulle Airport overnight and then fly the next day. And I find that all the hotels near the airport accept pets! even the fancy ones! I am gobsmacked.

As they say in Ireland...are they fecking with me?!!
