I look really tired in this picture don't I? Ha ha well I was! Of course I waited till the last minute to pack so I was up a little late! When we arrived in Dallas we went to check in and they told us that our flight had been changed and now we were leaving at 8pm instead of 5pm! Oh boy. So we now had another problem, because we are leaving later we will miss our connecting flight in London to Venice!! Just our luck. Well nothing we could do about it now, just pray that it would work out. We were all hungry so we grab a bite at McDonald's, joking that it was the last time we would be eating American Food :) The flight to London was 9 hours long!! Oh my gosh it was the longest time I have ever spent in a plane and surprisingly I didn't get sick. The plane was HUGE! it had 2 seats on the left side 5 seats in the middle and 2 seats on the right side with a business section and two economy sections. We were all separated so I had to sit by myself but it was ok because I was on the aisle and the man beside me slept the whole flight. Each seat had our own TV and we could watch movies, TV shows and the flight path. I can't remember what I watched but I watched some TV, slept some and went up to visit my mom, Dallan and Logan. I wanted to laugh out loud when I went to see my mom because of all the funny faces people have while sleeping on the plane, it was great! We arrived in London and we had to switch airports, I know it is weird but it is cheaper that way I guess. As soon as we stepped off the plane two people were waiting for us to guide us through the airport to catch our shuttle to the other airport. They told us in order to make it we had to hurry. The woman started speed walking down the terminal and told us to keep up. Oh boy talk about the saying out of the gate running! We had been sitting for over 9 hours and now we are running trying to make the shuttle to get to our connection. We went through customs and grabbed our luggage and ran to the shuttle bus and it had already left so we had to wait about an hour outside for the next one. I slept on the shuttle bus so I didn't see any of the lovely London countryside..oops...well I was sleepy :) We got to the other airport (sorry I can't remember which one we started at) and had to wait five hours for our next flight. Oh boy by this time I hated airports and airplanes. We kept trying to get a hold of Cori to let her know that we would not be coming in at the time she thought on facebook and email. We finally got through to her and told her that we would be in at 10pm. We ate real fish and chips and I slept with my head on the table in the coffee shop. Finally we boarded our last plane and made it to Italy!! It was dark when we got here so we couldn't see the landscape but we were all so excited we made it after such a long day..We left Utah at 10am on Tuesday 17th and got to Italy at 11pm on Wednesday 18th! We drove to the hotel my parents and logan would be staying at and than to Cori's house to check it out before we all headed to bed for a long needed rest. Sorry this post is so long and kinda boring the next ones will be better since it will show our travels :)
