JFK to FCO

We landed a bit early but had to wait for our gate to be vacated. I watched Avitar during the flight. It was okay, but I don't get why it was such a big deal.

My flight was delayed by about 25 minutes, which was actually a good thing since my layover was short. I did carry-on only for this trip for that reason. This way, I had time to get water and "take care of business. "

The flight was fine. I was right in the middle of the plane by the lavs. My seatmate is headed to Israel, as are several people on the flight. He told me that it is one of the best ways to get there from the USA right now, since only El Al flies to Israel. I guess it's much cheaper to fly from Rome.

Dinner was some sort of chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans. I watched "Burn After Reading" which was good. I enjoy Coen brothers movies. I put on the first Harry Potter movie to try to sleep, but no luck.

We are 30 minutes from FCO. I just had a "breakfast calzone" and some coffee. It is now 11 1/2 hours of travel.

La prossima fermata...Roma!Read more
