Roger Chenais, the uncle of Kevin Chenais, said
Thursday his 22-year-old nephew and the young man's parents
arrived around 9 a.m. in their home near the Swiss border, 740
kilometers (460 miles) from the port of Calais, where he arrived
on a ferry.
The odyssey of Chenais, who weighs 500 pounds (230 kilograms),
began when the family said they were left stranded in Chicago
after British Airways refusal to honor a return ticket.
Ultimately they made it to New York, where Virgin Airways agreed
to fly them to London. The Eurostar refused to take Chenais.
