... there were so many people at the United service desk asking if I was trying to get to Venice too. I didn't know this had happened.

I missed my connection to Milan (my first flight was delayed 2 hours due to weather) but I managed to get on a Lufthansa flight to Milan via Munich ... but that plane got a flat tire on the way to the runway & we left Newark 5 hours late. So, I got to spend a few more hours in Munich today waiting for a new connecting flight, & finally got to Milan this evening ... A full 12 hours after I was originally supposed to be here.

Traveling is fun! #Sarcasm
