You, sir, have mastered the art of pre-cruise anticipation fascination.

This is partially what makes doing these things so fun for me!

[TxTeach79]

Saw that little seat change notification and got nervous - that happened to us with BA from JFK - LHR last year…. 
 

 

But no worry! That’s just for the short CDG-VCE flight. We’re still locked into our fat exit row seats for the big haul 

 

[TxTeach79]

Okay - was able to call the F&F desk and got B’s wifi upgraded no problem. That was easy, and one of the best res agents I’ve dealt with. Boom, there it is!

 

 

time to reap the rewards of my giant Dunkin run

 

[TxTeach79]

So our driver from Venice to Trieste messages us to say hello and let us know where to find him… and he sends us THIS pic so we can locate him…. Why the thirst trap, Giuseppe? (Note: I don’t think his name is Giuseppe.)

Meanwhile, Mom has a way with words 

 

[dallasdan]

I have a great grandfather named Giuseppe.

Incredibly doubtful, unfortunately. Based on our track record, anyway. Here’s hoping. 

[TxTeach79]

Locked and loaded. Streamlined and better prepped for luggage chaos this time. We hope. 
 

[TxTeach79]

Fernando on the way

 

[TxTeach79]

Okay the driver changed last minute. Abelardo isn’t in a Corolla cross. He’s in a Chevy equinox. But he knows who I am, so let’s get risky 

 

 

[TxTeach79]

Abelardo? More like Al Unser Jr. …. And e are dancing with 90 flying down the very in the city and not wide open highway 

 

[TxTeach79]

 

 

[TxTeach79]

Barely made it. My luggage scale was right on point. 
 

[TxTeach79]

Baggage chaos 2: Baggage Boogaloo. Stay tuned.

Hold onto your Women - if you have any

[TxTeach79]

So get a load of this…. We are checking in and getting ready to drop our bag, when an Air France employee tells us that this is a full flight…. We’ll have to check our carry on as well, free of charge. This seems crazy, because we are here three hours early and no other airline I’ve ever experienced does it that way. Also, it would completely blow up our entire packing plan and loss prevention system. Then we see multiple other people arguing the same thing. It’s a thing. Crap. 
 

So we move an AirTag into our essentials carry on, B tries to argue to no avail, being told that “the overhead space on a full flight is for those with kids.” Ouch. 
 

So we check everything. I dump my glasses in B’s backpack. We have an hour and a half connection in Venice. We’re completely raw dogging this thing. Again. 
 

Also, the AF app has a bag tracker. Shows we checked three bags. We checked two. #holdontight

 

[TxTeach79]

So, we head on. Security was easy. About ten minutes. My raw masculinity set off the alarm again and I had to get the pat down.
