May 14, 2023 - Flew to Rome

Today, Alice and Fei flew Air Canada from Houston to Montreal, Canada and then took a connecting flight to Rome. Helen and Mimi also flew Air Canada from San Francisco to Montreal so we could be on the same flight to Rome.


Alice and Fei had a 5 hour layover at the airport. Fei used her Priority Pass from Visa to use their lounge. We enjoyed the hot meals and there were plenty choices of coffee, juice, tea, and hot water to choose from. We rested comfortably in their big chairs.


Later, we got a call from Mimi and Helen that they had arrived. We met them at the boarding gate with big hugs.  We have been planning this trip for over 6 months. We were all very excited to see each other.


The flight to Rome was smooth. Other than watching movies, we all tried to rest and get ready for the journey.


After landing in Rome, we hurried up to find the rental car office. Mimi is the brave one who volunteered to drive us around in Tuscany. So, Mimi and Alice (she is the co-driver, the one finding routes and giving detailed directions) talked to a rental car staff.  They finally settled with a Jeep with decent luggage space in the trunk. With 4 ladies traveling together, there was no surprise that we filled up the trunk immediately.
