Farewell to Italy

We're assembling in the lobby of the Gabrielle D'Annunzio right now, preparing to board our bus to the airport and embark on our lengthy trip home. About half the choir has already left, having gotten up at the ungodly hour of 5AM and traveled to the airport around dawn's early light. We remaining have a somewhat more relaxed schedule, but of course it means we get home later than the other crew. I know that I'm looking forward to my own bed and I think lots of the others feel the same.

It's been an awesome trip, with lots of highlights. The weather was almost perfect, the schedules went without a hitch, and apart from intermittent internet connectivity issues not much else has gone wrong. The kids were terrific the whole time (mostly) and the music was wonderful.

I don't have time to post much else right now, but once I get home I'll try to round up any stray photos or videos from other chaperones (feel free to contact me once you get over your jet lag). So check again occasionally, you may find some new stuff soon!

  1. Hi Glen-


    We just got back from the Swiss Air flight and everything went well. I'm trying to stay up a couple more hours since it's only 6:30 pm and the bed is calling.

    Thanks for keeping this up to date. My mother has been following the blog everyday and loved seeing photos of Kinsey and I along with the rest of the choir.

    See you on or before the next trip!

    Ciao, Lynn Drake
