Not so fast!

Well, my last post we were leaving. As it turns out, we were unable to get on our original scheduled flight. There were only 7 spots & 22 people flying on passes. As it turns out, there were 4 other women who were also unable to fly; a woman and her two nieces & a lady who hD cone over for the weekend with her friend who was on the flight crew over & back,& thought also in October there would be no problem! Ha! The lady with her nieces had stayed the night before at a Hilton Garden Inn nearby & knew they had a free shuttle. A call was made & luckily they had 3 rooms. It was near a small lovely town with a castle called Somma Lombardo where we attempted to walk in the rain for dinner. Only 700 meters the desk clerk said...WRONG. more like almost a mile. Turns out on Halloween & Sunday to boot, both restaurants were booked up. Took an over-priced taxi back & ate at the hotel. The good thing was Barbara & I met 3 lovely women & one teenager and enjoyed a dinner with them.Thanks ladies for the help & company!
