Saturday, 30 Mar 2024 – Departures from the hotel to the airport were staggered, depending on flight times. We were in the last group and were picked up from the hotel at 9:30 AM, along with our tour guide, Tini. In the FCO, Rome airport, again with no wheelchair, but finally someone asked Sally if she needed one – and she jumped at the opportunity! Our flight departed Rome at 12:50 PM. During the flight, we were served lunch and dinner, with wine. Jesse enjoyed watching movies, while Sally mostly tried unsuccessfully to nap. We arrived in Atlanta at about 7:00 PM, and was met by a wheelchair attendant. We said our good byes to the other Ivys at baggage claim. They were all in wheelchairs this time, including Camille! Going through customs was easy for us, since Sally was in a wheelchair and we both had Global Entry passes.
Our flight to Sioux Falls was scheduled to depart
Atlanta at 9:10 PM, but was delayed until about 10:15 PM. Kids were playing on the floor at the airport
during the long wait. Scott picked us up from the Sioux Falls airport, and
we got home at about 1:00 AM. Sally was so tired that she could barely find the things she
needed before climbing into bed.
The entire European venture required a lot more
walking than Sally would have thought she was capable of doing these
days!
