A wonderful evening yesterday in Venice. Took the vaporetto the length of the Grand Canal as the sun set, then had dinner in a lovely little restaurant, outdoors in a corner of San Marco. Did half our packing last night and threw outselves into bed early.
Up at 6:30 this morning and finished packing. Wound up taking a (speedboat) taxi to the airport (long story, will blog later) and will say that although it's very pricey, it's also the most thrilling taxi ride I ever had.
Everything went very smoothly at the airport. 8 hour flight with 3 count 'em three movies. Annie was an angel. We talked over the trip and "interviewed" each other for the blog.
A little bit of circling the airport due to bad weather here in NYC, but landed less than an hour late and pretty much breezed through custom/immigration and caught a taxi to Grand Central, where Annie's grandfather was waiting for us. A quick handoff and Annie was on her way home, as was I.
Nice to be home. Wireless Internet! American plumbing! My own bed!!
A note to the fans:
I have about a dozen posts written on my laptop and ready to go, but nothing seems to work in terms of cutting and pasting from Microsoft Word into Google's Blogspot format. If anyone really knows how to do this, I'd really like some help.
I also have a ton of photos, which I'll be uploading to Shutterfly this evening, at which time I'll post a link here on the blog.
If anyone wants me to just send them the unpublished blogs postings as a PDF, send an e-mail to hslev@aol.com and I'll send them along.

Just wanted to see how hard it was to leave a comment -- some complaints from the blog visitors!
