Getting There is Half the Fun

After a long flight over the ocean, a stop in Frankfurt, and a quick hop south, we arrived safely at Marco Polo airport around 1800 hours local time, and were met by our hostess, Mindy, who whisked us away to her home in Pordenone. We spent the evening in delightful conversation with her and a pair of expats living in Cortona, who are visiting as well, and sampled a good bit of the local vino. 

No picturesque photos to share so far, but I'll be sure to share here as we venture into Venice and beyond.
