There were at least four other huge cruise ships at Civitavecchia. That meant thousands of others heading to the airport as well. However, it was all well organized and went very smoothly. Rome's airport was beautiful and efficient.
We flew through Toronto in order to get home tonight. The first flight was about nine hours and the second around four and a half. Air Transat was okay but I hated transferring through Toronto Pearson International Airport. It was a zoo and I can picture a lot of people not being able to make connections.
I hate flying and I forget this fact between trips. I kept counting down the minutes until we could get home! I didn't sleep and the food on the domestic segment was of course non-existent. Our bags made the transfer and I should be grateful for that, I guess. I did have to wait a bit at YVR for mine to show up on the carousel.
We SkyTrained back through downtown. It is so nice being home! It was 11:25 when we got in the door.
