We worked with a wonderful crew to Barcelona. One of the flight attendants offered to show us around the city. The first thing she wanted to show us is how to use the bus to get to the main center of Barcelona.
The bus was actually very easy to use. I think now Marianne and I can maneuver the bus system on our future trips to Barcelona.
Such a beautiful day walking La Rambla , considered the most well known street in central Barcelona.
We stopped at the La Boqueria, which is one of the best markets in the world.
The colors, scents and spirit of everyday Spanish life burst from the busy aisles of this famous food market. We had a nice lunch at the market and then continued our walk to the water.
Miraestels
Seeing this statue in the water was captivating. I found out it is called Miraestels, a floating icon, becomes guardian of the waters. With its watchful presence, it urges us to care for and respect the sea. Miraestels staring into heaven indicate a double vigilance.
It certainly was a beautiful day by the water.
Our crew split up, Brit stayed with us and the other 2 girls headed back to the hotel. We now needed to saunter the streets in the Gothic Quarter. It’s a charming area filled with trendy bars, clubs and restaurants.
We found a great spot for a much needed beverage.
We enjoyed our time in the Gothic Quarter. Thanks to Brit, it was an easy trip back to our hotel by bus.
Our trip to Barcelona was a lot of fun, mainly do to the kindness and fun Flight Attendant Crew that we worked with. The Flight Attendants that you work with can either make or break a trip! You never know until you walk on the plane what kind of flight attendants you will be working with.
We arrived back into New York around 2:30pm and went to the Crashpad. We were very excited to see some of our SFO family staying at the Crashpad with us that night. Making our Crashpad feel like our 2nd home, we all enjoyed happy hour in the backyard. Great way to end a great day!
So excited to get to experience Tel Aviv with Marianne. We started our journey to New York with great seats in Business Class. Nice way to have some peace before our bizarre flight to Tel Aviv.
I tried to prepare Marianne for this mind blowing flight to Tel Aviv. No words could prepare her for the craziness that she would witness on this flight. It was just what we expected…chaotic. It’s not the flight that makes this trip, it’s having a fun layover right on the beach. What we will do to make work seem like a vacation!
We tried to make it to see the sunset outside our hotel in Tel Aviv. Unfortunately, we were stuck in traffic and missed the sunset by minutes. We decided to walk the boardwalk to see the night action. There was a lot going on; Zumba, yoga, volleyball on the beach and of course lots of eateries with delicious food. Next time Marianne and I are going to try the Zumba class. We loved the music.
It was getting late, so we decided to try the restaurant on the beach in front of our hotel. Beside hearing the roaring waves and the magic of sitting on the beach at night, we found that the food was delicious.
We were not ready to call it a night, so we just turned our seats around to listen to the sweet lullaby of the sea. More adventure was about to happen in front of us on the beach.
As we were sitting on the beach a group of young men came to sit in front of us on the beach with their boom box playing fun music. The funny thing was our waiter kept checking in on us and I said to him, ” Isn’t it nice that off duty policemen come to the beach to relax.” The waiter laughingly said, ” I’m glad you call them policemen, here we call them Israeli thugs.”
As we were listening to their music, we noticed a couple from the table behind us going swimming. The waiter told us the wedding party had been partying at the restaurant all day. The woman could hardly stand. After a few moments, it looked like she was going to drown. Her date was not in good shape either. Marianne came to the rescue and told the “Policemen” about the couple drowning. They jumped up and went to the couple’s rescue. All ended well. Marianne saved the day!
We had a good night sleep. We couldn’t decide if we should take an all day tour to Jerusalem the next day. It left the hotel at 720am and returned at 6pm. Unfortunately, it would not give us much time to rest before we had to go to work that night. We decided to postpone that tour for another time. We found a free walking tour that would show us Jaffa City. Regretfully , I did not read the fine print. We showed up to meet our tour guide and found out this tour was going to be in Spanish only. The nice guy told us an English speaking tour was going to start in 30 minutes at the clock tower. Now we had to find the clock tower.
We found it and the tour guide was excellent. We learned so much about Old Jaffa.
It was time to head back. We had a sunny 3 mile walk ahead of us to our hotel. We couldn’t wait to swim in the Mediterranean Sea.
We stopped along the way and picked up delicious meat filled pitas for lunch.
Swimming in the Mediterranean Sea was refreshing. The water was warm, clean and very clear. Nothing like frolicking in the sea.
Time to say good bye to Tel Aviv. We needed to put our game faces on to be firm, but nice to our passengers on our return flight to New York.
Cheers for us for another great adventure. “Life is a journey, enjoy the trip. Aim for the sky, but move slowly, enjoying every step along the way.”
Never in my wildest dreams would I ever think I would travel to Tel Aviv. I certainly went out of my comfort zone to work this flight. I cannot put into words the craziness that takes place on these flights for 11 hours. My head is still spinning!
The Calm Before The Storm
Boarding alone was challenging. I have to mention that the majority of our passengers were Hasidic Jews. They have their own dress, customs and beliefs. They have many children. My 1st challenge with boarding occurred when some of the Hasidic men informed me that their religion prevents them from sitting next to a woman that is not his wife. I told them that they would have to figure their sitting arrangements out on their own. I was not moving anyone. I was told by other flight attendants be firm, but nice. Next they need their luggage near them for reasons you will learn about soon. They would not use overhead spaces that were available if the bin was not directly above them. So boarding is very chaotic. Everyone is walking around even when we have closed the door. It’s like our rules on the aircraft did not pertain to them.
Finally, we got everyone seated and took off. We did our beverage and dinner service right away. This flight like no other had 170 pre-ordered kosher meals. Now we have to get these special meals to their owners. We managed to get everyone a meal and drink. It seemed to me everyone was starting to settle in for the night! I was quickly mistaken.
About 4 hours into the flight, all the Hasidic men jumped up and got their suitcases down to robe their praying garments. They pray at sunrise. Majority of the men pray in front of our exit doors with a window. The men that could not get to the doors, either prayed in their seats or in the aisle. One interesting note is that the men don’t stand still. They rock back and forth in place. I felt bad for all the other paying passengers that were now awake. I was told this is how it is on every flight to Tel Aviv. The prayer time lasts 30 minutes.
We had at least 10 men at this door. Note that we had to cover our coffee bar sink with the curtain because they would take their drinking water and wash their hands in it before praying. We kept telling them to please wash their hands in the lavatory. I asked one of them why he had a white robe on? I was told that the married men wear the white robes. After praying, they put their robes away and finally went to sleep.
Now you are probably saying to yourself, ” why would Nancy put herself through that?” It’s simple……..
Tel Aviv’s entire west side faces the Mediterranean Sea. The city boasts 9 miles – of some of the best beaches in the world with clean wide stretches of sand and stunning views of the sea, white sails and surfers.
We made it to our hotel by 630pm, just in time for sunset and dinner on the beach. We stay at the Hilton Hotel on the shores of the Mediterranean, which consists of a boardwalk that goes for miles. My trip to Tel Aviv was perfect because I had Cori, my coworker and longtime friend from SFO on my trip. Cori and I have had so many fun trips while we were both based in San Francisco. Cori was so gracious to show me all the fabulous sights of Tel Aviv.
Cori and I didn’t want to miss the beautiful sunset. We walked the boardwalk until we found a perfect spot.
After the sunset, we set off to find a place for dinner. We found the perfect spot for delicious drinks and food on the boardwalk.
It was time to walk back to the hotel to get a goodnight sleep. Cori and I were getting up early the next morning to explore Tel Aviv.
It was a nice walk back to our hotel.
Good morning Tel Aviv. This was the view from my bed!
Now it was time for yoga on a paddle board in front of our hotel. No friends, I wasn’t on a paddle board, I shamelessly sat on the bench and watched these girls workout.
Cori and I got an early start on our walk before it got too hot. Our 3 mile walk was to the Old City of Jaffa.
The Old City of Jaffa
It was a pleasant walk along the water to Jaffa. It was fun to see that these beaches are dog friendly and the dogs were having so much fun in the water.
This complex was built as an inn for Christian pilgrims to Jerusalem who, during the centuries that Jaffa lay in ruins, lived among the remain of the ancient structures in 1654, the Ottoman government permitted the Franciscans to build an inn here, which become the first building in new Jaffa. In the 18th century the building was renovated and named Casa Nova. The inn remained in operation until the end of the 19th century. It now houses art galleries, restaurants and apartments.
The port of Jaffa is mentioned in the Bible and is one of the most ancient ports in the world.
Before leaving Jaffa, we crossed The Wishing Bridge. An ancient legend holds that anyone boarding the bridge, holds it’s zodiac sign and looks at the the sea- their wish will come true!
It was about a 3 mile walk back to the hotel and boy were we hot. We definitely needed to get refreshed by the hotel pool.
I can say one thing about this pool, the temperature of the pool took my breath away. It felt like an ice bath. It truly was refreshing. It didn’t stop these two polka dot girls from having fun!
What a great way to end our day! We needed to nap before our 11 hour flight back to New York. It was not as hectic flying back because these passengers never got to see sunrise. We leave at midnight and arrive in New York at 5:00am. This makes for a much calmer flight back.
Tel Aviv has been dubbed the “city that never sleeps”, Tel Aviv is a city that pulses with energy, creativity and a vibrant spirit. It may have been mayhem to get here, but I can definitely say I’ll be back!
It’s always fun flying with my friend Tracey, but I had an extra bonus flying with Tracey’s dear friend Tracy Musser. We did as the Romans do! This phrase gives tourists in the Eternal City free rein to indulge in an extra scoop of gelato or feast on carbs at every meal. As well, as signifying the benefits of following the local customs and traditions to visitors to Rome.
Vatican City
First stop was to the Vatican City. Vatican City is an independent city state located in the heart of Rome, ruled by the Pope. It is the center of authority over the Roman Catholic Church. The Vatican is the smallest state in Europe. Inside the wall lives approximately 1000 people.
St. Peter’s Square
St. Peter’s Square is located in the Vatican at the feet of the Basilica. One of the most famous squares in the world.
St. Peter’s Basilica
St. Peter’s Basilica is the church built in the Renaissance style located in the Vatican City. It’s one of the holiest temples for Christendom and one of the largest churches in the world. It’s where the Pope does mass all year round. The church can accommodate 20,000 people.
An interesting note to remember, when you are visiting St. Peter’s Basilica they still go by the Roman Catholic Churches dress code. Basic guidelines mandate that the knees and shoulders must be covered before entering the Church. The greeters at the door were very kind and handed out blue paper shawls.
After exploring the inside of St. Peter’s Basilica’s beautiful mosaics and famous artworks and the many stunning details inside, it was time to move on.
We had to cross the river to get back into the heart of Rome. Our next desired destination on recommendation was to find the pub that celebrates the Pittsburg Steelers. Tracey Butler is from Pittsburg and we were not going to miss finding this gem.
La Botticella of Poggi Giovanni
We found it!
We enjoyed a cold beverage before setting off to make it back to the Spanish Steps where we would be meeting the crew for dinner.
Venchi
A must stop on the way was at Venchi, a well known Gelato Shop! It was so yummy!
Always an adventure when walking the streets of Rome. So much to see!
We made it to the Spanish Steps. Now it was time to meet the crew for Happy Hour and dinner.
Hotel De Russie
Cocktails in an urban paradise. The Hotel De Russie is an upscale hotel that exemplifies luxurious Rome living. Rooms start at $1000.00 a night. We enjoyed a cocktail in the beautiful outdoor terrace.
I had the great pleasure of being on a Rome layover with one of my special classmates Tony Cataldo. We have flown together for 33 years.
Hosteria del Mercato
Great place for dinner. The food was delicious! Lots of laughs with my crew!
What a fantastic layover I had in Rome. We definitely did what the Romans do. We indulged in delicious gelato, savored the taste of mouth watering pasta and reveled in the beauty of Rome. It’s not even like work when you get to fly with fun loving people. You can pack for every trip, but good friends will always be the best thing you can bring.
Special bracelets were bought at the Vatican. They will always be a reminder of our memorable time spent together in Rome.
I am so happy I finally made it to a beach in Barcelona. No one on my crew wanted to go to the beach, so I got the courage to venture out myself. Another flight attendant told me to go to the W Hotel and there would be a nice beach in front of the hotel. So that’s what I did. I took a 20 minute taxi ride to the W Hotel to find my happy place.
The W Hotel is a luxury hotel located on the beachfront along the famous Barceloneta Boardwalk. This hotel has a panoramic view of Barcelona and the Mediterranean Sea.
So I found a great rock near the water’s edge to sit on to enjoy the warm water, the beauty of the sea and to marvel at the courage of all the topless women.
This was my grand seat while I enjoyed the beach.
After taking a long walk on the beach it was time to find a cold beer. I found the perfect spot. In front of the W Hotel, there was a small restaurant on the beach that offered beach chairs to enjoy your cocktail.
I enjoyed a cold Sol beer that tasted like Corona.
After a fabulous day at Sant Sebastia Beach. It was time to head back to the hotel. I was meeting the crew for dinner.
Life’s too short to not enjoy a day at the beach. A day at the beach restores the soul!
I have been flying for 33 years and my energetic fun loving friend Camaryn has been flying for 1 year. We are both based in New York. I am so happy we got to meet up on our London layovers.
After Camaryn ran 9 miles through London, she still had the energy to explore London with me. First stop was to Harrods.
HARRODS
Harrods is London’s most famous and iconic luxury department store, known for its designer retail, famous clientele for over 150 years. I wish I had taken more pictures of the luxurious counters. It have over 330 departments and 5000 brands across 7 floors, with an incredible food hall. As you roam through the store, you have a feeling of wealth and glamour.
A must have is the iconic Harrods bag that comes in all shapes and sizes.
After our retail therapy, Camaryn and I set out to find an English pub for lunch.
Camaryn found us a fun English pub! It was beautiful inside with oak panels, etched mirrors and glass work. This pub was definitely my kind of place…cold beer and a delicious lunch.
Time to move on!
WELLINGTON ARCH
The Wellington Arch is set in the heart of royal London. I t was built as an original entrance to Buckingham Palace, later becoming a victory arch proclaiming Wellington’s defeat of Napoleon.
BUCKINGHAM PALACE
Buckingham Palace is a London royal residence and the administrative headquarter of the monarch of the United Kingdom. This has been Queen Elizabeth II’s formal residence since 1936 when her father took the throne. It is said that King Charles and Queen Camilla will call Buckingham Palace their home, after renovations on the palace are completed.
It was time to walk back to our hotel. Camaryn was leaving tonight and I would be leaving in the morning back to New York.
I love walking the streets of London and seeing the architecture and luxurious properties.
It’s always fun to turn the corner and come across an Iconic Red Phone Booth. Great way to end our walk back to our hotel.
So this Oldie definitely had a great time with this Newbie. Camaryn knows how to keep you feeling young!
I was so excited to get this incredible trip to Athens. Athens is full of vibrant culture, thousand of years of history, delicious food and friendly people! I can say it is one of my favorite places so far without even setting foot on one of it’s gorgeous beaches!
Before I went out to explore Athens, I visited our rooftop pool at our hotel. At night it is lively with a DJ.
ATHENS
Athens is the capital of Greece. It was also at the heart of Ancient Greece, a powerful civilization and empire. Athens houses many historic landmarks. It is known to be the birthplace of democracy and idea that all citizens should have a voice in governing their society.
PLAKA
We went to the Plaka neighborhood. It’s in the shadow of the Acropolis and ancient temples. Hillside Plaka has a village feel, with narrow cobblestone street lined with tiny shops selling jewelry, clothes and local ceramics. Plaka has lots of cafes and restaurants and of course my favorite, rooftop bars.
HYPER ASTRO ROOFTOP BAR
First stop was to the Hyper Astro Rooftop Bar in the heart of Plaka. It has a pretty terrace which offered a stunning backdrop of the Acropolis.
TERRACE VIEW
Fun time at the rooftop with my coworkers Annette and Margie.
After the rooftop, we met up with another flight attendant from SFO. She is Greek and took us to her favorite spots.
As we were walking up to the Acropolis, I noticed so many cats just relaxing or roaming the streets. I had to look into this phenomenon. I didn’t see any dogs. I found out that many cats were left on the streets by citizens and tourists, who often picked up cats during their stay in Greece and then discarded them at the end of their trip. Furthermore, since neutering was considered to be an unnatural process, pet cats were usually not neutered. This resulted in a large population of stray cats.
ACROPOLIS
The Acropolis of Athens is an ancient citadel located on a rocky outcrop above the city of Athens and contains the remains of several ancient buildings of great architectural and historical significance, the most famous being the Parthenon. The Acropolis was a fortress and military base during the Neolithic period, due to its position which offers a great view of the land and the sea.
So lucky to be in Athens with my Greek speaking friend Kim.
Now it was time for dinner. Kim took us to her favorite restaurant.
The view from our table at the restaurant was amazing!
I love Greek food!
Dinner was full of great food, delicious wine and fun conversation.
We made every minute of our layover count. It was getting dark so we needed to head back to our hotel. We had a 30 minute walk ahead of us.
As we walked, I looked back and I could see the beautiful Acropolis lit up on the hill. It certainly was a sight of greatness!
PANATHENAIC STADIUM
On our walk home, we came upon the Panathenaic Stadium. This spectacular stadium was home to the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 in Athens. This stadium remains the only stadium in the world built entirely out of marble. It is the oldest operating stadium in the world and it has hosted three Olympic Games.
Athens, this Ancient Greek metropolis has a lot to see and do. It has so much rich culture and history. I was so blessed to get such a wonderful layover. I can’t wait to come back. Next time I will enjoy Greece’s stunning beaches! For now, I will treasure the unforgettable memories of the vibrant city called Athens!
It’s hard to describe the beauty and the feeling of being in Rome, especially for the first time. American Airlines gave us flight attendants a gift, by putting us up in a hotel in the heart of Rome. Every place of interest is in walking distance. Every corner I turned I was in awe!
HOTEL SAVOY
It was so hard to take a nap because of the anticipated excitement that lied ahead. Without hesitation, I had to force myself to nap. I needed the energy to see all that I could see in one day.
ROME
Rome is the capital of Italy and the largest city in the country. It is located on the western coast of central Italy along the Tiber River. Rome known as the “Eternal City” is called that because it is a place of great beauty, contrast and life. The city is home to numerous iconic landmarks that are a testament to its rich heritage. Rome is famous for having fabulous foods such as spaghetti, pizza and delicious creamy gelato.
THE SPANISH STEPS
The Spanish Steps are one of the most famous stairs in the world. The steps were built in 1723 and 1726. They are the steps that lead from the Piazza di Spagna ( Spanish Square) at the base and Piazza Trinita del Monti that has the Trinita dei Monti church at the top. There are 135 steps and 12 ramps. Also it has 3 terraces that represent the Holy Trinity. The Spanish Steps represent figuratively and metaphorically the close relationship between the Sacred and the Eternal city. This landmark in Rome hosts many events, such as fashion shows, filming of movies and special Italian ceremonies. A fun fact is that the stairs were also considered as a place to rest from the long walks through the city of Rome, but in 2019 a law came into effect saying it is illegal to sit on the steps. By doing this, they hope to preserve this special landmark.
View from one of the terraces on the Spanish Steps.
Fontana della Barcaccia
This is the fountain, which is found at the foot of the Spanish Steps. This fountain looks like an old fishing boat.
We continued walking through the streets of Rome.
The Trevi Fountain
The Trevi Fountain is the most famous fountain in the world and definitely in Rome. It has intricate artwork and lots of history. The Fountain also showcases the skills in the ancient Roman’s. I could not believe I didn’t have a coin to toss in. According to the legend, one coin: you will return to Rome, two coins: you will fall in love with an attractive Italian, three coins: you will return, find love, and marry. Luck or no luck, the money goes to a good cause. It was fun seeing everyone throwing the coins in!
Pantheon
Next stop, was The Pantheon. The Pantheon is a former Roman temple and since 609 AD, a Catholic Church in Rome. It is the most preserved monument off Ancient Rome. It was constructed as a temple dedicated to the Gods and became the burial ground for several important artists and kings.
We decided it was time to stop for a cold drink!
As we were sitting there enjoying our cold drink, we witnessed a marriage proposal in front of us! It was very romantic. The bride to be was in tears!
Cat Sanctuary
For all you cat lovers, you would love the Roman Cats Torre Argentina Cat Sanctuary. I loved that we fell upon this place. This Cat Sanctuary is a cat shelter in Rome. It makes use of the ancient ruins of Largo di Torre Argentina by providing a home within them for around 150 cats. After the excavation of the temple ruins in 1929, feral cats were drawn to the area, sheltered by the Roman pillars and fed by locals. If you zoom into the photo on the right you can see 2 of the cats just loving life and lounging on the rocks. Unfortunately, I couldn’t take any photos when we got down into the ruins because the cameras scare the cats. I left the Sanctuary with a happy heart!
Altara della Patria (Wedding Cake in Rome)
The Altara della Patria commemorates the unification of Italy in 1861 and the first king of Italy, Victor Emmanuel II. It is known in Rome as the wedding cake because of the building is layered and white, like a wedding cake.
We left the Altara della Patria and headed to the Colosseum. Along the route, we appreciated the beautiful buildings, accompanied with multiple ruins.
Colosseum
The Colosseum is the largest amphitheater built during the Roman Empire. It’s one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. The Colosseum is over 1,900 years old. The gladiator games were held at the Colosseum. Aside from the games, the Colosseum also hosted dramas, reenactments, and even public executions. A series of earthquakes during the fifth century damaged the structure.
The fun did not stop here. Actually, the fun began because the Rome Gay Pride Parade was about to end their parade here at the Colosseum.
It was time to leave the festivities and head to dinner.
Sunset at the Colosseum
Dinner Time
My pizza was so delicious!
When in Rome, you always make room for creamy gelato. I had chocolate chip that was so scrumptious!!
I couldn’t have asked for a better crew to explore Rome with. We walked over 10 miles that day. Every step was filled with fun and laughter. Even though I didn’t get to throw the coin into the fountain, I know I will return to this breathtaking, romantic, timeless place called Rome.
Barcelona, Spain captured my heart! Not only was I enchanted with the beautiful views and a fun city, I was so happy to being experiencing Barcelona with my dear friend, Tracey! Yes, we are flying together again! We are both now based in New York. Happiness is flying with the people you love.
First stop after a couple of hours of sleep was to our rooftop at our hotel! Wow!! What a beautiful view and the white sangaria was a yummy way to start our day!
Our Captain Heinz, knowing that it was my first time to Barcelona offered to take us to a few of his favorite places. Another crew member Meilan joined the fun.
BOQUERIA MERCADO BARCELONA La Boqueria is the most famous market in Barcelona located in the center of the city (Las Ramblas). It is so picturesque with all the different types of food. This is a place to spend feasting the senses!
After having a delicious lunch, we set afoot to enjoy the streets of Barcelona.
IGLESIA SANTA MARIA DEL MAR
We came upon this beautiful church to stop and give thanks for our incredible day!
So much to see, but not enough time to see it all. It was time for dinner. Heinz brought us to one of his favorite restaurants. CALABASA RESTARANT
We cooked our meat on a a hot stone , that perfectly sears the meat keeping it very juicy to our own liking. The steak was absolutely delicious!
It was time to head back to our hotel. Loved walking along the water and seeing stunning yachts. It was a fun filled day but not over yet! We headed back to our hotel to enjoy the sunset from where we had started our day!
ROOFTOP
BUENAS NOCHES
Unfortunately Marianne wasn’t able to join me on this trip!! Here’s to you Marianne! You are truly missed! Can’t wait til we fly together again soon!❌⭕️
What a dream come true! I could never have imagined I would get to experience the extraordinary beauty and charm of Lake Como! Marianne was such a good sport. In order to have a full day at Lake Como, there would be no time to take a nap when we arrived at our hotel in Milan. We had to start our day running! We tried to nap from the airport to the hotel on the bus. It certainly wasn’t easy!
Even though we didn’t sleep, we were still very excited to take the 1 1/2 hour ride on the train to Lake Como.
We arrived!! The lookout for George Clooney began. LAKE COMO
Lake Como, is in northern Italy’s Lombardy Region and is an upscale resort area known for its dramatic scenery set against the foothills of the Alps. It has been a popular retreat for aristocrats and wealthy people since Roman times. George Clooney purchased a lavish villa on Lake Como in 2002.
Funicular Railway
This Funicular Railway (cable car) goes from Como near the lake waterfront to the top of a hill in the Village of Brunate. The 7 minute ride passes through a scenic stretch of countryside with sweeping views of Italy’s Lake Como as far as the Swiss Alps. So of course, Marianne and I waited in line for the Funicular Railway so we could see the view of the lake from above. Absolutely beautiful!
The view from above was breathtaking! Now it was time to enjoy the waterfront and have a delicious bite to eat!
It was a lot of fun sitting outside and watching the world go by!
To our amazement, Lake Como is filled with elegant white swans. They were calmly swimming and grooming themselves in the midst of all the human activity.
Towards the evening, we were pleasantly surprised when 2 of our SFO family members, Beth and Sinda joined us to make fun memories at Lake Como!
Sad to say, it was getting late and we had to get to the train station for our return trip to Milan. These International flight Attendants needed to get some sleep. Our passengers depended on us to be fresh and energized to work our trip back to New York in the morning.
Our wonderful day at Lake Como, will always hold a special place in our hearts.
