We're here. And oh what an adventure it's been. Does anyone have an easy time flying overseas these day?
We ended up driving ourselves to the airport. The car service called to say they were running an hour late as their driver got a speeding ticket leaving his home.
We were delayed 90 minutes in Philadelphia while a mechanical error was being taken care of.
At the Milan airport the ATM ate our card and would not give it back. Patelco forgot to note that we were taking it to Italy and the only way to get a new card is for them to mail it to our home address in 8-10 working days. How inconvenient do you think it is to have no access to cash while on vacation? Especially when you owe the owner of your rental house $2,000 tomorrow?
The good news is that Milan is as enchanting as ever. Paris slept 16 hours last night after sleeping just 30 minutes in the previous 31 hours. I slept 13. Our hotel, Boscola Excedra, is hip, clean and modern in a museum-quality way. We're all adjusted to the time change now and looking forward to meeting up with our friends in Villabartolomea tomorrow.

That's an exciting way to start a vacation!
Can't wait to hear all about your trip (especially the food!)
So if I get one of those folklore Facebook messages asking to wire you money in a foreign country, it would be real?!?
