Thursday
Arrived Milan 0800! Great flight…had two seats to myself! Small but efficient airport. I plopped down at one quiet end to get on line…Boingo link found but then for the life of me I have the wrong password. Don’t know where I wrote it down, if I did. So there is another hook up via T-mobile but I honestly don’t know the U.S. country code, which they ask for, for hooking up on that link. So my first venture into blogging ended up me writing in word to download at another place and time…unless I miraculously remember a password or the country code. Only 0900, have at least 3 more hours to wait to meet with Denver contingency. The hustle and bustle of the Italian language is everywhere. I swear they are asking for a bus and it sounds like they lost a soccer match or something.
It is an overcast and foggy day, although we did get a great look at the Alps on the way in…and a ski resort…well that is what the captain said. The flight was half full and I had two seats to myself…almost felt first class;) ( above is Sam...Lish's luggage at the Milan airport wanting a water)

Had some weird meat/potato dish…the flight attendant sweetly said “better eat meat now you won’t be able to afford it in Italy with the exchange rate”. The answer in my head to that was…1. I am not so sure this is meat and 2. I wanted seafood anyway.
In the distance I see the flashing green cross of the pharmacy taking me back to both Nice and Multipucciano trips.
There is some fashion here..although a pretty hum drum airport for a fu fu city like Milan.
A lot of black boots, leather and “studs”…not the guy kind but like silver studs on black leather kind.
I already found that we will catch the bus to the Milan Central out of exit 6, bus three. We will just need to get tickets when the Denver clan gets here. That seems to take you to Milan Central at which point we will catch the train to Varenna. Although I read in an Italy book that it’s better to buy the train ticket here. Will end this now and go get cappuccino!
