Not Quite Yet

Long story and I'm going to make it as short as possible.  Our flight on AA out of LA was delayed  over 3 hours,  making our connection impossible,  so we're now flying to London on British Air at 9 tonight and then to Paris (with a 2 hour layover) arriving Friday night at 8 pm, instead of 10 am.  It's now 4 pm, we've been here since 8 and we leave at 9:20.  The good news is, they were able to retrieve our luggage from plane #1 and it's going with us.  Yea!!  Now, I just hope we can still catch the Friday night fireworks off the Ile St Louis--hope I'll still be awake but think I'll be able to sleep on the plane tonight.  Sidebar: On our trip in 2009, our flight out of LA to Chicago was delayed, causing us to miss our connection, and we had to fly from Chicago to London to Paris.  Note to self --If  you do this again, do not, I repeat DO NOT fly out of LAX to anywhere to Paris.  Try Orange County to Chicago to Paris instead!!!
