2nd & 3rd Legs Complete

2nd Leg - DFW to London

After a two hour delay in Dallas, Kimbra and I began the 2nd leg of our journey to Italy. The eight hour flight was a bit uncomfortable, but after 2 tynenol pm and a glass of wine dream land finally came. I awoke with the sun beaming in our window as we were starting our decent into London. This complete what was Kimbra and I's first overseas flight. The time in London was 10:50 a.m.

3rd Leg - London to Bologna

Our delays continued in London. We boarded our plane on time, but after an hour of engineers working on the plane we were told we would have to take another plane. Before we left the plane we were told that the refreshment cart would not fit the new plane, and we were literally tossed our sandwiches. We were carted off the plane and onto buses that took us to a spare plane waiting for us on the other side of the airport. Finally, 3 hours after our scheduled departure we pushed back from the gate. A resounding cheer went up as the pilot announced we were headed to Bologna.

As we arrived in Bologna weary from the journey thus far our spirits began to lift as we realized we were finally in Italy! However our spirits were soon dampened as we were trust into that category of unlucky travelers who arrive at their destination only to discover their luggage did not make the same trip. Our Italian vaction has begun! More later, maybe!

Make it a great day!
