I couldn't sleep, so I was out of bed by 3:45am. By the time my alarm went off at 4:30am, I was already ready to go. So I did a little extra cleaning and snuggled with my babies.

I had a lovely Lyft driver, Cheryl. She has traveled extensively throughout the country as a photographer. I arrived at just before 6am, with no line to check bags, and a very short TSA line. So I had breakfast at the Country Cat.

At the gate, there was some commotion about our flight not leaving, and being on different flights. My phone actually has a separate ticket to MXP. But I'm on the plane....Læs mere

JFK
20. november 2023, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 43 °F
My flight was uneventful, I wasn't sure at first whether my luggage made the plane. Not sue why, bit probably because of the alternative reservation. I watched "Shaun of the Dead", then "Wizard of Oz."

I went to the Delta Sky Lounge for the 3+ hours I have to wait. There was a line, but it was less than 5 minutes to wait.

I worked on some emails and did my Duolingo for the evening. I also enjoyed some good food and wine.

The gate was a 3 minute walk and I arrived right before my group boarded. Getting all snuggled in for the next 9 hours!Læs mere

I'm here!!! As usual, I didn't sleep at all. The flight seemed short, but I was so uncomfortable! Dinner was chicken curry, with a potato salad. I fell asleep briefly to "Pulp Fiction," then dozed to "The Hunt for Red October." Breakfast was a really bad egg mcmuffin type sandwich.

The post flight stuff wasn't too bad. Passport control went fast. I did have some problems finding the baggage claim, but I don't think my bag went around too many times!

I'm now on the train from MXP to the Milano Centrale station. It's a 45 minute trip and I started to fall asleep. There are people in front of me speaking Italian that I can almost understand.Læs mere

I am crossing the lagoon now to Venice. I was able to sleep for a bit, which has helped!

The Giudecca Canal
21. november 2023, Italien ⋅ 🌬 57 °F
I missed the boat by a split second at the ACTV dock. I looked at the next dock and there was a viable option. At least I thought it was. It turns out that this vaporetto goes through the Guidecca Canal, not the Grand Canal. This one is wider and more industrial. But I think it's a new one for me. It's taking forever because it is criss-crossing the WIDE canal!.

I'm riding in the back to stay awake...

I made it to the vaporetto stop and walked the 10 minutes to the hotel. The original route was so crowded that I went a different way that took longer. But worth it.Læs mere

Hotel Mercurio
21. november 2023, Italien ⋅ 🌬 55 °F
I found the hotel--once I reached the theater, I knew where I was. I forgot about all the stairs! For some reason, I thought since I stayed with Mom here, there was an elevator. I checked in, and luckily, there was a person to help with my HEAVY suitcase!

My room is on the top floor. Not as nice as our room last time, but fine. I started the unpacking/reorganizing project, then tried to take a nap. No luck, but I did rinse out my stinky clothes and took a shower to wash stinky me!

At 5pm or so, I left for my adventures. First stop...euros!Læs mere

The Cicchetti Crawl
21. november 2023, Italien ⋅ 🌬 54 °F
I headed out after getting some advice from the man at the desk. He mentioned that there was a festival in Dorsoduro and a temporary bridge from San Marco. I decided to head that way. First I found an ATM and after a call to my bank, I got 260€. I couldn't get more than $300,and with the exchange I had to try a few times!

There were poliziotti everywhere and I soon realized that they were crowd control--boy was it crowded! I had to fight my way through to get to a place to cut down to the Giudecca canal. I have listed the stops, cicchetti, and cost here:

Pizzeria Ristorante Da Gianni--Spritz 5€
Bavaro dei Fioi.-- Porchetta panino and Langorino 6.50€
Bar Canton--sardine with pickled onion.Campari spritz 6€
Pugni --2 Salmon Soave 8€
Ai Bocon di Vino -- Lardo con , mortadella con rucola, and prosciutto con marmellata. Cynar spritz 11€

It wad a 20 minute walk home. I wanted to stop again, but I was very tired--and had had enough to eat and drink!Læs mere

Alla Laguna
22. november 2023, Italien ⋅ ☀️ 46 °F
I woke up at 7:30 and got ready for breakfast. I chose the 6€ Italian breakfast, which was fine after last night. It was a cappuccino, coronetto, 2 little doughnuts, and a glass of juice. Then I was back in the room to get ready for my trip to the lagoon.

The walk was nice, as it always is in the morning. I stopped briefly at the Rialto Bridge--last time I was here it was under construction. Once I was in Canneregio, it was quiet.

I am now on the vaporetto to Burano.Læs mere

Burano
22. november 2023, Italien ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
We arrived in Burano around 11 am. I spoke with some Argentinian ladies--a mother and daughter after I took their picture.

I headed straight for La Dogeressa, the pashmina store. It was closed (for good?) 😔. On the main drag I stopped for a caffe doppio. The woman at the counter was surly! As I was walking I saw some pashminas at a small shop. I went in to buy and the girl was lovely. We spoke in Italian and I bought a "beige freddo" and a denim blue pashmina. We talked about learning different languages. She said, "La aspetta," which means "come back here again." 😃 Next stop was the post office for stamps.

I wanted to take the 12:25pm vaporetto and thought I was close. Nope! Other side of the island! I hustled and made it with a few minutes to spare.

I'm inside the ferry and trying to decide whether to stop in Murano. It will be crowded, and I don't really need any more millifiori! It has been a nice sunny day so far.Læs mere

Pranzo a Ai Promessi Sposi
22. november 2023, Italien ⋅ ☀️ 57 °F
I decided to skip Murano. I wanted to have lunch, and most places there were probably going to be crowded. My hotelier recommended a place in Canneregio that was close to the vaporetto dock. Of course, I got lost. I think I'd be better off with a paper map!

The restaurant was very close to the hotel where I stayed in 2017, Hotel Ca' d' Oro. After going around in circles for a bit, I found it.

I had a 1/4 liter of wine, the spaghetti con nera di seppia, and a salad. Then some "biscotti di Burano." Good restaurant!Læs mere
