Arrivederci

So it has been a long, eventful day so far and we've only been on one flight.
I arrived at the STL airport at 9 am to find out our first flight to Chicago was cancelled. Because that flight was cancelled, it would make us miss our next flight to Rome. They could get us on the next flight to Chicago but there wasn't enough room for 22 people on the next flight to Rome. So after 5 hours of waiting at the ticket counter, we got a new plan. STL to NY Laguardia then take a shuttle to NY JFK then to London Heathrow then to Rome. Then a train ride from Rome to Florence. Whew! I am sitting in NY typing this right now. I think everyone will be relieved once we finally get to Florence tomorrow night. I know I am tired and we still quite a long way to go.

We should he boarding the flight soon, so my next blog will come straight from Italy. Arrivederci United States!
