First things first, we saw Diana Ross at the airport, but that was only after Erin made me (Devin) take the subway to the airport. For anyone that knows me, this was an almost impossible task, and Erin sustained much whining in the process.

But then, the holy grail of traveling struck me, possibly as my karmic return for having taken the train. Here I am, on my flight to Milan, after I have already had to part ways with Erin at JFK, and my flight, not so full. Noticing that fewer and fewer people were trickling onto the plane, I looked across the aisle and what did I see.......a row of three seats, completely empty! Being my father's child, I seized the chance to upgrade and swooped in, laying my stuff out over all three seats, claiming my gloreous territory. I was ready to just head home after that, but Erin made me come to Florence.

I (Erin) wasn't so lucky on my flight but two seats to myself wasn't so bad either. However, I did manage to have a dream that I had arrived in Rome only to remember that I had 4 more hours of work to do and immediately got on a flight back to New York (the airport attendant gave me a voucher for a $79 flight back to Rome the next day). When I got home, which was Syracuse, Jim just looked at me and shook his head. After all that I realized that is was 9:30 pm and my flight left from JFK at 9:45pm and there was no way that I would make it in time and I had no way to tell Devin I wouldn't meet her in Florence. That is when I woke up panic stricken and thought - thank god I am finally on vacation.

Hey ladies - I'm enjoying reading about your travels. I once stood next to Carmen Electra in the Las Vegas airport security line. The question of the day - who's less human (less natural and more plastic) these days, Carmen or Diana?

Diana looked totally natural, nothing plastic about her. I think Carmen loses.

Diana Ross!!! That is amazing! Did you say hi?!!?! Did you ask her, "baby, where did our love go?" I'm glad you both made your flights on time and without major mishap!
