0 Day 1 - Arriving in Milan


What a trip. Flight to Newark - delayed about an hour. Had a 1 hour connection (prior to flight being delayed - then turned to a 3 minute connection); had to call an airport cart to transport us to our gate to board for Amsterdam. Then once we get on the plane to Amsterdam, the flight was delayed due to weather. So we sat on the plane for about an hour. Then fly from Amsterdam to Milan (good) except that we stood at baggage claim for about 20 minutes and our bags never appeared. So now we are in Milan, but luckily we packed clothes and toiletries in our carry on bag. YESSSS!! :) So lets see if our bags appear at our hotel tonight ...

Tanya reminded me - Continental Airlines fed us VERY good. Dinner: chicken with rild rice, salad, a whole grain dinner roll and a brownie. Breakfast: A soft, buttery and warm croissant with butter, jelly and fruit ... and of course, I had some coffee. The flight was very pleasant.

It's been a while since I've posted.

I'm getting ready to visit Italy for the UMAP conference (umap09.fbk.eu). I'm presenting a poster at the Doctorial Consortium. I hope to blog a few times while in Italy :)
