The events of the flight

So let me preface by saying this post will come quite a few hours after the actual flight since there was no wi-fi on this journey. Needless to say, I will be having strong words with American Airlines. I paid for a monthly package of go-go in flight web service, only not to be able to use it. Urg.

The flight from MIA to NYC was extremely uneventful except for the crying baby and Mr Rico Suave sitting next to me who decided the most comfortable position for him was with one leg propped up on the seat... I mean, really, dude?

We arrived in NYC and AA and the USO had set up a very nice send off to a group of veterans heading to Brussels, Germany. We were treated to the bagpipe corp from the NYPD and a rendition of the Andrews Sisters music. Very cute and very patriotic. Great send off for the veterans.

We found a very cool (stress very cool) wine bar that had a pretty amazing selection of wine, cheese and pasta. We spent about 90 minutes relaxing over our meal, then headed to the gate for our big crossing of the Atlantic.

Nelson watched Sherlock Holmes and I watched The Vow (eh, not overly impressed). After our movies, it's now sleepy time. I hope the next few hours are uneventful and restful. I hope to wake up to a fun filled morning in Rome.

Ciao!
