We awoke at 5.30 a.m. to prepare for our trip to the airport for our flight home from Rome Fiumincino Airport which was scheduled at 9.40 a.m. only to receive a message from American Airlines which told us that the flight was delayed until 12.20 p.m. So we had a more relaxed rising and were able to have breakfast at the hotel before packing again.
After breakfast we looked across the street with some trepidation to see if our little car was still there. It was. So we loaded up and set off for the airport. The drive did not take too long as it was a Sunday morning. Re-filling the car with fuel was more tricky but we did find a gas station that was open and re-filled it.
We dropped the car off at the rental place and checked in for the flight. Boarding went smoothly but the flight was less than stellar standard with no wi-fi, no individual TV screens and a crew who were less than sympathetic.
But we were reasonably on time on the delayed schedule and the flight was quite smooth. we arrived home around 5 p.m.
It had been a great trip and American Airlines couldn't spoil it.
