(One of a series in our “Wish We Were Really There” virtual tour created during the Covid lockdown in May 2025.)
Our trip to Paciano starts with a flight from Newark (EWR) to Rome Fumicino (FCO – aka Leonardo DaVinci Airport, but nobody calls it that).
Newspaper delivery has been suspended, banks and credit card companies have been notified, wireless phone plan modified, neighbors have agreed to check the house and water the plants. Music playlists have been downloaded.
Michele has packed and repacked three times in the last week; Frank started yesterday. Since we are dual citizens, we each bring two passports… just have to remember which one to use and when. 😉 We have more than enough AC adaptors… but can you ever really have enough?
Caught an Uber from home to the bus stop at Lehigh Valley Airport, then took the bus to Newark Airport. Arrived three hours before our 5pm flight. Bags checked, boarding passes in hand, off to have a nibble and a drink. Thank God for airport lounges; they are worth every penny if you spend a lot of time in airports. Boarded… pre-dinner drinks in hand, movies selected for later. Next stop: Roma. See you tomorrow!
