This is my final blog about our Italy/Greece trip but before I get into that I must say KUDOS the Philharmonic and Heather Headley for an amazing opening show for the POPS series. Ms. Headley, a Tony and Grammy award winning Broadway star, and Fort Wayne native, was also a great stand-up comic. Her comments between songs were very funny. Of course her voice was amazing too. Great Show!!!
Now, about leaving Athens and heading home. As promised, our pre-paid cab driver was at the hotel by 9:45am to take us to the airport for our noon flight. He seemed pleasant enough, although he didn't speak much English, but I must admit I was a little concerned when he seemed to be plugging the address of the airport into his GPS system. He got us through all of the thick downtown traffic and really made up time when we hit the open highway. We arrived at the AA terminal a little breathless but otherwise ok. Obviously we made it on to our flight to Chicago, managed the customs hassle, and, with a four hour layover, had plenty of time to make our connecting flight to Fort Wayne. After driving about half way to FW, the plane finally took off and we were up and down in 31 minutes, arriving on schedule at 11:05pm. My GPP was there waiting to take us home. What a welcome sight. Finding that our suitcases had arrived with us was another plus.
This was supposed to be sent last night but my laptop was doing weird things and I couldn't complete it until this evening.
I'm heading out on another flight in two days so stay tuned for further adventures.
