Our journey home would not have been complete without a little drama: a backpack left at the hotel, a cell phone forgotten on the bus...not that a 2:00 am wake-up call might have anything to do with our state of mind. Students began chanting, "U-S-A" on the way to the airport, as eager as the chaperones to lay their heads on their own pillows and order anything wrapped in a tortilla. Once at the airport, the lines were long. Several tour groups were headed back to the States and were vying for the early morning departures. To make matters even more interesting, three of the KLM passengers were issued standby tickets for the Amsterdam to Houston flight.
Lorenzo and Chiara will arrive in Turin by noon on a high-speed train, so we are on our own now to solve these final issues. Souvenirs in tow and still creating dramatic memories, Purple and Gold and heading back to Galveston, USA!
