After a very busy week, we departed for the airport around 9:30am. Our flight to Detroit was uneventful despite some weather in the Detroit area, which thankfully missed both our arrival and departure. We had about a four hour layover, but we passed the time with an early dinner at P.F. Chang’s (where I’d eaten only a week ago on the way home from Beijing) and by strolling through the airport.
The onward flight to Rome was pleasant enough even in economy class, which admittedly I’ve grown unaccustomed to given my amount of travel for work in business class these days.
