On our way to ITALY!!! Free wine and beer on international flights – heck yeah!!

Dinner on the flight was…well, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d be. Pretty much a TV dinner. First time I’ve ever had a meal on a flight though – so it was exciting! We had “chicken” with “risotto.” Not really sure you could call it chicken, and it def was just rice – not risotto. 🙂 The brownie was yummy! It was a brand called “Love and Quiches.” Cute!

5 more hours until we’re in ITALY!

We’re back!

I took a journal and wrote diligently the entire trip – I’m hoping to type up what I wrote here in the blog to share with family and friends…we’ll see how long that takes!

We’re glad to be home (we missed the pups so much!) but I’m so happy that we were able to go and that the trip turned out to be so great!
