Hi, folks - hope everyone is still in one piece after last night's storms!
It's 7 weeks to our trip and I'm now thinking about transfers to/from the airport (CDG) to our hotel. Travel party is me, my DH and 4-yo DD. I know there's info in the sticky threads and this has been discussed before but now that I'm in the actual moment of having to do something about it I've come over all faint-hearted and pathetic. Please help me, oh good and wise people of the DISboard!
I'm pretty set on getting a private shuttle from the airport to our hotel as this seems to be the least stressful way of doing things, even if it's not the cheapest. I've read good things on here about John at Ezyshuttle. Has anyone used his services recently? Would you recommend that I go ahead and book? If so, how do I do this? And what about a proper child seat, not just one of the wee booster things?
Flight back home is at 17.40. I was thinking about the fast train (TVR?). What sort of time would I have to get the train in order to be on time for our homeward check-in? Do I have to book tickets in advance? And is the train reliable wrt service - I'd hate to be stuck on the train if it broke down, sitting there sweating and panicking about missing the flight. Might I be safer to just do the shuttle on the way back again?
As you can tell from this ramble, it is causing me grief! This is my DD's first trip away (all our holidays up to this point have been UK-based where we've driven door-to-door) so I'm keen for all to go smoothly. I envy people who can simply sling some clean socks/pants in a rucksack and merrily skip off on their travels!
Thank you all very much indeed.
