MSC serves hot dog pizzas. Apparently it is an Italian thing. 

Yup that’s what I got too when I asked for sausage on my pizza. Luckily I also had pepperoni so I picked off the hotdogs.

Very slow check in - but they did reserve a taxi for us at 3:30am tomorrow #killme

 

Your pickup time seems a bit early. ...the airport doesn't open until 4am.

Depending on the time of your flight, you might be able to squeeze in at least 30 more minutes of sleep!

 

I had a 6:20am flight, arrived just before 5am and was at the gate by 5:30!  And that included a brief stop at the Ticket Counter to sort out a problem with my ticket. I've always found VC to be chaotic but at 5am it was surprisingly quiet.  By 5:30 the lines were starting to grow though.

 

p.s.  If your flight is non stop to the US, watch for the overhead sign.

I’m right there with you, but B is very much in dad mode on this one. She wanted to leave at 3! 3:30 was the best I could get out of the deal. 
 

I wish we were direct - we’re doing the same route in reverse, VCE-CDG-DFW

30 minutes on the nose. This is the Murano bus stop…

 

 

And I was standing here at our hotel. It’s literally at the bus stop. 
 

 

Choosing a hotel right by the vaporetto stop is expert Venice/Murano/Burano/Lido travel.  Even more so in Venice proper with all the stairs and bridges.  I'm so excited for your day in Venice!  I wish you were staying three nights.  Don't forget Piazza San Marco after dark.

World of difference between Venice and Murano.  It's like Texas, think of Venice as Dallas Uptown, Murano as Fort Stockton.

[TxTeach79]

Made it back. 42 minute bus ride back

Key didn’t work, had to go back to the front desk and replace it

Showered, relaxing, and nearly comatose. Dreading that long travel day tomorrow.
