Greetings from New York!

Didn't know that one of my destinations was New York? Neither did I. I thought I was going from Chicago to Rome, then from Rome to Florence. After departing from O'Hare about an hour and a half late yesterday, we find out (somewhere over the Atlantic) that our "ray-dah ees broh-keen" (radar is broken) and there is nothing we can do to fix it. Soo we turn around and emergency land at JFK. Fast forward a day, and I am currently sitting in the lobby of the hotel that they put us up in for the night, full of the generous complimentary breakfast we got a voucher for (mm free food). Instead of being in beautiful Florence right now, I am sitting on the cold marble floor of the lobby with all the other pissed off passengers. Last night I got shockingly close to having to break up a fight between an Italian flight attendant and the VERY angry lady that I was so lucky to be sitting next to on the flight.

So far, all we know is that our flight is rescheduled for 3 pm today. We're suppose to be picked up in about an hour for the airport, so there is a bit too much sitting around for my liking. So, I should be arriving in Rome at 5 am tomorrow, then getting rebooked for a connecting flight to Florence.

I'll post soon, hopefully from Italia!!
