We hired a water taxi to pick us up at 4AM Italy time. No problemo until we approached open waters at the mouth of the canals and then fog hit. We knew there was an issue when our driver let off the gas instead of hammering it. James poked his head out of the cabin and the driver said, "We have a problem."
Luckily the water taxi was able to drop us at the Taxi zone and two were waiting to drive us another 18 minutes to the airport.
Besides fog delay, our trip home was delightfully uneventful.
Our main challenge will be getting back on our time zone.
We woke at 3:30AM on January 10th in Italy, which is 6:30PM on January 9th in California. As I write this, it is almost January 11th in Italy. Basically, we've missed about 21.5 hours in the sky. But hey, we got at least two naps in on the planes (one to Rome, and then Rome to home). And we watched four outdated movies. The goal for tonight: stay awake until 8PM.
We are happy to be home in California.
Looking forward to going over our trip this weekend and getting the kids' perspective for a separate reflection posting.
Welcome home, si glad you are back and can't wait to hear more about your trip! Love you!
