The Engineering of...l'avion

It's D-Day! Bags are packed (teetering on the 23 kilogram limit). A "cornucopia," dare I say, of maps stowed away for this directionally-challenged traveler. Got my aisle seat reserved and got my jumpin' jacks out of the way in preparation for a long sit. Upon arrival, meeting a postdoc from my lab to take the train into Paris. Bon voyage!
