We made it to Italy!

Luca also just found out from his job that some of his projects that he was worried about having to work on while he was gone have gotten postponed. He (and I) will still have to do work, but it won't be nearly as bad as it could have been.

Even the flight wasn't so bad this time. We only had a three hour layover (instead of our usual 7) in Frankfort, and we actually found A PLACE TO SIT for 40 minutes. The last time we were there we found the airport hotel, which has a lovely, *clean* bathroom with nobody in it in the lobby, so this time we went back and washed our faces and brushed our teeth. It's amazing how much that helps.

I just woke up from a 3 hour nap, and now we're getting ready to go to dinner. Not sure where we'll be going, but my father-in-law uses his son's presence as an excuse to go out and eat way too much. I know, poor us! I'm sure it will be tasty.

We still have to make plans for the rest of the trip and see all kinds of relatives... but we're here!! Now all I have to do is turn my Italian brain back on. Fortunately, my in-laws are very patient with me about this.

Yay!

Enjoy your well-deserved vacation. I hope you do as little work as is acceptable and as much eating and drinking as your stomach can tolerate. I love Italy and am very jealous!
