Departure Day: July 18, 2006
July 18, 2006We left the house at 5:30am this morning. Had a car service pick us up which worked out great. Arrived at the airport just over 2 hours before our flight. Good thing, because the lines were a mile long and we just made our flight. The first leg to Atlanta was awful. We didn’t want to pay the $1200 for a seat for Melina so instead we just paid the taxes and fees to have her as a lap child ($400). It sucked. I thought we were prepared, but oh no, not even close. Nothing like having a 1 year who wants to stand up and walk around confined to a lap of parent squished in an economy seat. Boy, traveling first class to Cabo was so much better! Anyway, we made it, barely made our connection in Atlanta but once we were settled on the plane, Melina settled down and slept for about 6 hours. Yeah!! We also had bulkhead on that leg and they blocked off the middle seat for us. Not that she could sleep in it, but she could sit in it and we also had a place for all the bottles, toys, blankets, etc. Mom and Dad were there to greet us in Milan and that was awesome. No trains, buses, taxies, just the 5 of us in the car and heading to San Carlo for 5 weeks. Melina was so happy to see them and so were we.
