Day One
As we sat in the airport the anticipation grew! I was really going to Italy! My dream since I was a little girl.
The place where my ancestors came from.
We flew to JFK and waited for our one way flight to Rome. I was ready...
I have never flown overseas before. I was excited!
Then they announced there was mechanical difficulties with the plane and we were detained.
3 hours went by before we could board our new plane but that was ok. I knew where I was going!
I flew American...
We boarded the plane, it was bigger than the usual ones I have been in.
There were movies, music and food to be had.
My thought was that I hope my legs and back don't cramp up sitting here so long....
I watched out the window as the plane went up the coast till the lights were few.
Then no more....
just water...
So sit back with me as I take you on my transatlantic flight to Italy!
