It was a comfortable flight and his plane arrived on time.
John Taylor was expecting a driver to pick him up from the airport.
After going through customs and immigration control, he went to find the driver.
He saw a man who was holding a sign saying 'Mr Taylor', so he introduced himself.
The driver replied in french.
Unfortunately, Mr Taylor did not speak French, but he did understand the words 'hotel' and 'seminar'.
Because the meeting was early that morning, John Taylor decided to go straight to the seminar.
He nodded his head at the driver and repeated 'seminar'.
