The good news is that I’m alive and LOVING Venice! The bad news is my internal clock is all messed up. Right now it’s 12:42am in San Francisco, but in Venice it’s about to be 9am. I slept about 7 hours of DEEP sleep, but still feel all groggy.
The flight to JFK was smooth sailing, and the flight to Venice was just as nice. I ended up sitting next to a genuine Italian who didn’t speak any english, but it did not stop her from thoroughly enjoying “The Express” and clapping loudly when Ernie would score a touchdown (as well as being visibly upset when she found out about his death). I was extremely proud of myself, I only went to pee 5 times total, for both legs of the trip, that’s a record for me. I’m also proud to say my streak continues, I have yet to go #2 on any flight! Flying into Venice was gorgeous
We really lucked out with our Hotel, it’s on the water and we actually left on our Gondola ride a few feet away from the front steps of the hotel. This was the view going back:
Though our flights were relatively cheap, and the whole world is going through a recession, this is STILL Europe, so for those of you planning a European vacation, please note that you’ll still have to pay 3 Euros for a Diet Coke 😉
Now the Gelato on the other hand, that’s 1.50 Euros and SO WORTH IT!
We’ll be on our way to Rome shortly, can’t wait to see all the hookers near Vatican City!
Ciao!
