Day 15 - Homeward Bound!!

5:15 AM: Woke up to get ready to go to the airport. It was easier to get up than expected, as we were all ready to get home. Florence to Frankfurt, Frankfurt to Washington D.C., then Washington D.C. to Houston. About 18 hours of flights and layovers. Never understood this, but when we were landing in Washington, the flight attendant informed everyone that "in the even of an emergency landing, we were to leave all carry-on luggage and immediately exit the plane." Hmmmm. That didn’t sit well with anyone. Needless to say, it was a very uneventful landing, and we were safely back in the US. We were all home by 8 PM that evening, almost 24 hours after we woke up that morning for the trip home.

It is good to be home, but we will miss Tuscany. Check out the pics here. More will be added as we get to them.
