Left the hotel at 6:30 am for a taxi ride to the airport where he had a fantastic surprise at the check in counter - first class upgrades on the Milan - New York flight! Oh yeah!
This made the 9 hour trip a much different experience with some of the most comfortable airplane seats I had ever been in.
We were able to relax, eat, sleep and just plain enjoy the long flight as it went by quickly.
Things got a little frustrating in NY (I wonder how many people have said that?) as our flight was delayed from leaving for Atlanta by a lightning storm. We're all buckled in with the doors shut when the ground crews seek shelter from the lightning. Suddenly our comfortable layover between flights in Atlanta was at risk...will we make the Savannah flight? I had all but given up when we finally took off and made it to Atl in record time, less than 2 hours on a flight scheduled for 2:45!
We hurried to the gate in Atl and made it just as the last people were boarding.
We're on the freedom bird home!
Made it to the holy city on time and were met by Heidi, finally got to the house around 10 pm, 22 hours after we left Milan.
What a wonderfully memorable trip! 11 countries, 12 beds in 13 nights, over 15,000 miles of travel on planes, trains, boats, and automobiles but lasting, laughing memories with our good friends, the Wawrzyniaks.
God is good.
