Disembarking in Rome

Friday, June 8th

This turned out to be the day from HELL!!  We disembarked on a day that a strike had been called from 1PM to 5PM!  Our afternoon flight to Frankfurt had been canceled and we were rescheduled on a flight leaving Rome at 7:45PM. Alexandria was able to get us a day room at the Hilton at the airport so at least we were not stuck at the airport and could get some rest!  We went over to the airport around 5PM and faced a nightmare!!  Flights were overbooked and others were still being cancelled! Alexandria found a line for handicapped.....she made me get my cane out of my suitcase and we got in that line!!  She then told the lady I needed a wheelchair!!  It actually was pretty funny!  That made it a breeze to get thru security....we went to the front of the line!!  Our flight was again delayed....it was around 1AM when we got home!
