Ok. Remember when I said “so long as I have my credit card, my few important items and my passport everything else can be replaced?” Yeah. Don’t ever say that again. In fact I should know better than to say such blasphemous things aloud – you know my track record with saying stupid, stupid things aloud (and if you don’t, ask me about shooting stars and maybe I will tell you). Today was a long day and I am not going to go into details (because, well I am exhausted and can’t keep my eyes open) but I will give you small details. There were missed connections, overweight luggage, bad lightning storms, very invasive TSA security checks, flight cancellations and flight re-booking, but all the madness was dealt with aplomb (until the very end). Long story short I am now in Tuscany with only my carry-on. I have a change of clothes, and my laptop, passport, various sundries and three pairs of shoes. Go figure, I would put several pairs of shoes in my carry-on, the one thing I can’t actually buy in Italy... Go me! I would almost say that bad packing saved me. Almost.
Silver lining – we are all here in Italy, whole happy and ready to fight the day…. Or eat dinner….. Whichever comes first. Probably dinner. Viva Italia.
