Going Home!

We are going home!  We waited as late as possible to get up, get downstairs for one last meal in Europe and then head to the airport.  The airport is a 10 minute walk from the hotel.  That doesn’t include waiting for elevators, the tram in the airport to take us to the North Terminal…. We made it over around 9 though for a 12:00 departure.  It’s a good thing we did though!  Around a week ago, we had gotten notice that our flight home had changed from a transfer in Boston to a transfer in NYC.  We tried getting in our apps to see it but that never worked.  We just thought it was no problem and we would just be able to check in.  We were not able to check in on the phone app so we just went straight to the airline desk.  They were actually not able to check us in either because our ‘travel agent,’ credit card company had not done something on their end to confirm our tickets.  We had to try calling our card companies.  One had their entire computer system in maintenance and they couldn’t help us.  After three amazing ladies,  Jet Blue agents, worked together, we were able to get boarding passes. 

 

We thought we all did so well preparing for security but 5 of our 8 bags were pulled for inspection!  Ametures!   After a few laughs about our mistakes and the loss of one wine bottle opener from Cesani, we passed inspection and made it to our gate.  Our aglio olive oils bottles even made it through!  Yay!

 

We all loved this trip but are happy to be going home!  We’ve missed home – Aspen, River, friends and routine (somewhat on that last part).  Goodbye Europe; until next time!
