OK, Delta sucks, let me get that out of the way right now. American came through with what is now Plan B, which means Ira and I stay in NY until Tuesday. Then we fly American to Rome (insh'Allah and God willing and a shoutout to Pluto who's been causing so much trouble in Iceland). Then, we'll spend a night in Rome, take the train to Venice, bag Florence (with profuse apologies to Don, Alexa, and Olivia), then pickup the trip as previously scheduled. Of course, this could all change, so same bat channel, etc., etc.
