The Flight. Pt. 1. Already an Adventure!

Wednesday, February 2nd, 6:45 am. Wake-up. Get ready. Last minute errands. Have a delicious breakfast at Annie's with my wonderful boyfriend. Then we had to say a tearful good-bye :( Left for the San Fran airport at 10am, then we were there by 12pm. There was barely any traffic in the city, we had some good luck. Then I got checked in quickly and relaxed with the parents for a bit. Then had a tearful goodbye with them. Then I was through security by 1:15pm. We didn't board the plane till about 3pm. 

We had a late take-off, not till after 4. I sat next to a very nice lady from Petaluma, who was on her way to visit her dad in Spain. We had dinner and lots of movies to watch. Then about 5 or so hours into the flight we had to make an emergency landing in Montreal, Canada because someone had a heart attack. It was crazy! So we were stuck on a plane in Canada... Where it was snowing.... So then we had to wait even longer to de-ice the plane. We finally took off and were on our way. I got a total of about 2 hours of sleep the entire 15 hour flight.

So, then we missed our connecting flight to Florence. All 30 of us. And I'm pretty sure the majority of the other passengers missed their flights too. Now, we are all sitting in the airport at 4:30, waiting for our flight which leaves at 6:45. I have no service, so I wasn't able to call anyone when I landed. But I'm safely stuck in the Charles de Gaulle airport... Thankfully there's wi-fi! 

Alright everyone, I'll keep you updated on the rest of my trip. Hopefully no more setbacks....
