ROME - SPRING 2016
Funny Story
On this trip the Queen had to fly back to New Jersey for a one day meeting. She left on Monday morning and returned Wednesday morning. She went off to the airport in the morning by train. I got a call from her that she was on the plane and had left her laptop at security. I tried calling the airport but got no where so I decided to go there. Arrived at airport by train and took the bus over to Terminal 5 where all the flights to US leave from. Most flights had already departed and no one was there. A guard asked me why I was there and I told him and he said to follow him. We walked past many doors that said `Do Not Enter'. He really did not know why I was there. As we were entering one area a woman in uniform was walking out and he stopped her. She was carrying a big black trash bag over her shoulder. After they talked they got on phone and called someone else over who had a large batch of forms and he had me sign one. I had no idea what I was signing. The women then reached into the trash bag and pulled out the Queen's computer. If I had arrived one minute later we would have missed this woman. She was on her way to Terminal 3 where the lost and found was.
Hillary
This has nothing to do with Rome but we did find this for sale at the gift shop at Dulles Airport. I thought Hillary as a nut cracker was perfect play on words.
Armani
Right on time they have changed the Armani ad before we return to Rome.
Balcony
The Queen takes care of the terrace when we are there and it always looks nice when we return. Nic, our landlord, did a lot of work since we were here last. The fence is brand new. He also patched some holes and painted.
