May 1 - Paris Trip - the onward flight

 We boarded the airfrance flight on May 1 very early morning at 1.20 am. Everything went well. We reached very early and went through the immigration and security after checking in. All the luggage  was checkedin. We were given a 'breakfast' of warm stuffed rolls. After that we were given nothing to eat till a few hours before landing. Ravi developed a severe stomach ache that left him in severe pain and agony. He could not have the morning meal and was vomiting at this point.  It seemed to be a combination of his tight jeans and constipation due to the bread and sitting in one place during the 10 hour flight. After we landed, with great difficulty we got through the immigration and waited a long time to collect our bags. After we collected our bags Ravi was in severe pain and agony and could not move. I had 2 trolleys with 3 big bags, 2 hand luggage and 2 back packs, to contend with. I left him seated and took one trolley out, left it with Purni and despite the siren going off, rushed in again to bring Ravi and the 2nd trolley. With great pain Ravi came out and we came to Purni's home in a taxi, a 40 minute drive. After reaching Purni's home, Ravi was still in a lot of pain and wanted to be admitted in a hospital. He was nauseated and had not  eaten for more than 12 hours He panicked so a online consult was arranged with a Doctor who prescribed  anti vomiting and pain killer medicine. Flo had some suppository that he used for constipation. After using one of the suppositories and taking an anti vomiting tablet he felt fine. He slept well and woke up refreshed. 

So our day in France began with a crisis that was successfully resolved
