My daughter is stranded??
She is scheduled to leave Paris on Monday AM. She cannot contact the airlines and I can't get any information her in the US. If she doesn't check in for her flight at the airport if it is still closed I wanted to find out if she will lose any chance of getting on another flight. Oh well, there are worse places to be stranded even if it is her birthday.
