Day 0: But Mostly Italy

Tonight as we sit on the plane flying across the Atlantic, I can’t believe we’re finally about to realize a lifelong dream. For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to travel to Italy. And now it's finally happening.

Hasn’t been without its share of hiccups. Madison’s flight from LA had some issues and took off an hour late. We ran into traffic delays twice on our way to the airport, then all the long-term lots were full. Had to park in the slightly more expensive daily lot.

Madison just barely made her connection. They were already boarding our flight when she de-planed. Luckily, they’d moved her gate from the other side of the airport to right next door. So we had her Bojangles ready and waiting.

Once we were finally all on the plane together, it was pretty smooth flying after that. After all these years of dreaming and planning. We’re finally on our way!

Ciao!
