were heading for Wales on a six­road highway. I felt very bad. We turned off the highway and turned into a country road, as directed by Suri and there was a sign saying that the road to the airport was closed. I saw a lady watering her garden and asked her about the best way to the airport. She said we were at least 30 minutes from the airport, but she couldn't help us with the right directions (方向)．

　　I was so worried as we really were out in the country without any guidance. All I could think of was to turn Suri off and follow the signs myself.

　　Then finally after many_butterflies_in_the_stomach and feeling like my heart was going to burst (爆裂) out of my chest, there was a proper green sign to the airport and we followed it with so much joy.

　　Driving from the airport into Paris was a shock, Lots of homeless people were sleeping under the highways with rubbish everywhere.

　　Anyway we're now in Paris. The experience of getting lost is now almost laughable. In another 24 hours will be my 50th birthday. I have a big party planned for myself in Paris.
