Mediterranean Vacation: Venice Airport

Getting there (and back) is a necessary evil for almost all great trips. After flying out of Dulles around 6pm on Thursday, we made it into Venice early Friday afternoon (Venice time, which is 6 hours earlier than Virginia time). Whether the irony was intentional or not, the baggage claim carousel in the Venice airport was painted to advertise a local casino — that is, painted as a roulette wheel! While we were fortunate enough to receive our bags (winner!), we learned that hundreds of passengers on our cruise had bags go missing for days, and many never received them. Unfortunate for them, but I thought it made for a great photo!
