20.5.25

Thursday, May 8 - Getting to Rome

Our limo was a few minutes early, just as we were moving our bags to the step. Slow trip to the airport, but lots of time before our flight. The departure area was crowded, but we found a table in an eating area next to our departure gate and ordered food and drinks. Still lots of time before the flight time we’d been given. Oh, but wait! The boarding  was nearly an hour earlier than on the ones we printed the night before! We should be fine, because we’d been sitting right beside the gate listed on our new boarding passes, and had received no text updates and heard no announcements of changes. But it was 20 minutes past the new boarding time! At the gate, they casually told us that our flight was now leaving from a gate in a slightly different part of the terminal. Yikes! But we got there just as the delayed boarding began, so all was well. Well, except for the fact that we were seated 2 rows apart. It was a long (8+ hours) flight, but eventually we landed in Rome around noon Friday.
