We've arrived at the airport & checked in, now we're waiting for our flight. We connect via Munich to Rome, arriving 24 hours after we leave (which works out to about 16 hours of travel if you take into account the time difference). Due to the colossal size of our party, we're flying in two separate groups -- the larger group, about 100 strong, left at 2:30 this afternoon and will have been relaxing in the hotel for most of the afternoon and evening when we come straggling in. Jerks. I would say that we make up for it by spending more time in Italy on the other side, but it just doesn't work out that way.
The weather today (in Palo Alto) was very hot, but I think it's only going to be hotter in Rome. They're predicting high 80's and humid for the weekend -- we'll let you know the true story when we arrive!

Everybody* made it onto the plane with no problems (of course, that's not really a problem we worry too much about). The flight's about half over and has been mostly uneventful, except for a somewhat unhappy (read: crying) little boy in row 30. The flight's been very smooth. We arrive in Rome in about 6 or 7 more hours, after our Munich changeover.
Hmm...I just discovered that this flight has wireless internet access. That's a new one for me, but it means I can update the blog right now. Isn't technology wonderful?
I'll update as soon as we arrive and get checked in.
Later!
* "Everybody" on this flight means Amanda, Natalya, Mami, Nicole, Katherine, Jre, Katie, Tiffany, Caitlin, Jessica & Jessica, excluding the adults...

Thanks so much, Glen! What a wonderful way to stay in touch. It was so reassuring to see the pictures and know that you've arrived safely, found the hotel and actually got everyone into their rooms and (supposedly) asleep. Keep the updates coming!!
