For those of you who are paying close attention, you may be wondering why I'm making a post when I'm supposed to be on a plane to Philadelphia. It turns out that due to weather all over the country and a huge staffing problem with Northwest airlines yesterday, my flight to Philly was cancelled. After spending two crazy hours running around in the airport and making calls to all sorts of 800 numbers, I finally have a confirmed path to Brindisi. For all the hell it was (which I won't go into detail about here), it's turning out to be a better situation. I have a business class seat direct from Seattle to Paris, and then I go from there to Rome and Brindisi. I'll be getting to Brindisi 4 hours later than I was orginially scheduled to, but I'm leaving 8 1/2 hours later from Seattle.....overall my journey will be 4 1/2 hours shorter! I'm also pretty excited about the business class flight to Paris :)
Right now I'm back at the house I've been staying at in Seattle. My mom and hosts are showering and such since we all rushed out of the house this morning at 5:00 to get to the airport in time for my (cancelled) flight.
Anywho, all is well....and I might even get to catch a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower :-P
Au revoir!

Your last entry was Thursday June 28th, still "stranded" in Seattle. It's now Tuesday July 3rd - hope you're well and safe and deeply immersed in the Italian culture!
