We're flying so high.... (Dec 19)

Our first flight from Delhi to Milan we had personal video screens. How cool! I was tired as heck but I started watching a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory anyway. I was like a kid who just refuses to acknowledge that I was tired and should go to sleep. That is until I started to fall asleep, no matter how much I tried to stay awake. Luckily, with the personal video, I could pause it until I woke up later!

Brad managed to find and empty row of seats and stretched himself out to sleep (way easier than sleeping sitting up I might add).

We landed without incident in Milan to hang out and wait for flight number two that would take us home. We landed just as the sun was rising - it was a beautiful sunrise.

As much difficulty we had in finding stable internet connections in India, we were really surprised that we could get absolutely no connection in the airport in Milan. Crazy man!

In Milan we felt a bit of culture shock again. We were moving from the 'wear whatever, do whatever' world of India to the high fashion land of Milan. There's a Ferrari store and you can buy Tiffany diamonds in the airport for God's sake! We did treat ourselves to ice cream and panini and dark chocolate however.

The Milan airport, rather like Toronto, isn't quite set up with all its gates yet. We took a bus through a very large parking lot of airplanes to our plane. One more flight, one more bad inflight movie (Monster-in-Law) and we were home before we knew it.

Huge, giant thank you's to Shawna for picking up our tired, luggage delayed, sorry asses at the airport!
