Como and Snow

Wednesday MJ and I had a Milan trip. We actually got to ride and not work the way over because they needed us for a bigger plane for the trip back. So we got to talk, catch up on gossip with each other and in the mags and have a little snooze.

When we got into Milan, we went straight out. I had been wanting to go up to Lake Como for years. It always seemed too much on a normal layover but with the little snooze we had and with MJ to keep me going we took off. It was a really pretty day, a bit hazy but not too cold and sunny. The lake itself was beautiful. I guess I thought the city would be full of shee shee fru fru shops and people and that wasn’t the case. Maybe in the summertime but right now in the dead of winter it was mostly locals and a lot of shops were closed. If you are wondering- despite avid looking- we didn’t see hide or hair of George Clooney.

After dinner, some red wine and a snooze we were back on the plane heading to Newark and a snow and ice storm. Fun. We were lucky and actually landed only 30 mins late. That’s when the real fun began. Immigration computers were down so it took us a hour to clear immigration.

Ken bought me a train ticket home so I wouldn’t have to worry about the roads and driving.
The trains were all full because of canceled flights and bad roads and were running late as well. My 4:54 train finally left Newark airport at 7:30. Besides that I cannot complain, I got home around 9:30 to about 8 inches of snow with a ice layer over it. Boy was I glad I didn’t have had to drive in all of that mess.

Yesterday we went grocery shopping (always a blast on a Sat. after a big storm) and watched movies all day. Across the Universe- http://www.sonypictures.com/homevideo/acrosstheuniverse/- was my favorite of the day, besides having great music it was visually really cool.

Today is going to be a another low key day because tonight I have a date with Oscar and the red carpet and tomorrow I fly again.
