My Italy Trip - The Beginning

Our exciting adventure began on Saturday October 4, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. when my dear friend Connie picked us up to take us to the Airport. There is something so special about a friend picking you up and not having to worry about long term parking and parking fees. Connie you are a blessing, this really meant a lot to us. Our first destination to Atlanta left around 1 p.m. The next flight from Atlanta to Venice would take 10 hours. Most of this flight was at night and we did not sleep at all, due to the jet noise, people talking on the back constantly and the toilet noise. Our seats were at the very back of the plane. At some point in the night there was a commotion, I looked back and saw a lady laying on the floor. The doctors on board were called to help out. Turned out the lady's blood pressure rose and after giving her oxygen she was okay. We were both worn out but excited about meeting Kevin.

It was so nice to see Kevin after almost a year.
