Thank you so much SalB!

This is a huge help and makes me feel a lot better about getting in and out of the airport.  I just know that here in Boston, you could easily find yourself driving in circles around the airport if you're not familiar with it!

 I do plan on booking before we leave (and soon) so that we get to CDG, grab the car and head down to Loire. On the way back, we'll drive the car back up to the airport, and take a cab or the train into paris for our last 3 nights.

 thanks again for your help I sincerely appreciate it.
