So, we planned our trip from April 7-21st. It is now the 21st and the skies over the UK are finally open after being closed for a week thanks to the Icelandic Volcano "Elihjialuoiajeineoin aeorijeoiheoi n" or some thing like that. Can anyone really pronounce it? Anyways, the odds of this affecting our life at any point in history have to be pretty minimal, like 1 in 10,000,000. But apparently we won the lotto! I am not going to complain (besides above) because some people have been stranded this whole time, missing important events like weddings, funerals, births, and we are just trying to get back home "on schedule". So, I know we don't have it that bad if we are a day late.
Our flight today was scheduled to leave at 11:45 Rome time with departure out of London-Heathrow at 3:10. We are now scheduled to leave here (Rome) at 2:20. So, unless this is a Deep Space Nine - trekki deal there is no way we make our flight, unless of course something awesome happens like a 2 hour delay on the Seattle bound flight. Worst case scenario (besides closing the airports again) is that we are on the flight home tomorrow and get to spend a night in London tonight, which we have never been to, so we can check that off the list!
Anyways, enough with the boring details of flight delays....here are some pics from Venice!
We had heard many things about Venice, some good, some bad. We stayed 2 nights, had a good time, but were OK with leaving on the 3rd day. I am glad we were able to see how beautiful it was and some of the architectural history, as well as enjoy the "fruits of the ocean" aka fish.
Cross your fingers for us so we can get home!
Ciao!
