It's in the suitcase

this was our mantra the first day in Venice.

We left Maryland during a terrific storm, arrived for our connection in Philly late, missing our flight to Venice by 10 minutes. We were detoured on a later flight, going by way of Frankfurt so I upgraded all to Envoy class,bliss!
We arrived in Venice later then planned, in the afternoon, however, our baggage didn't!
So whenever we needed something, we chanted,"it's in the suitcase". Promises were made that it would arrive the next day at our hotel, the Palazzo Rosa, so we continued our adventure, exploring Venice.

Beautiful city, the Rialto Bridge and San Marco in the evening, the many bridges over canals and walkways, twisting and winding,always going the right direction,beautiful churches and the architecture so different from home.
Special highlights were the museum at Ca'D'Or, the food, the Happy Bar, and especially sampling the gelato.

Yes, our luggage arrived the second afternoon, and we enjoyed our Venetian holiday even more.

Now, we are at a lovely B&B, The River Mill near Downpatrick, N.I., enjoying the gracious hospitality of our hosts, Theresa and Aidan, with our bags near.
Quite proud of myself, driving from Dublin airport, no near misses and just a few encounters of the rumble strips!
