Life with Larry takes us from Scott ARB to Italy
After a week of working in Bay/Waveland with Habitat for Humanity, we drove to Scott ARB in Belleville, IL. We love the excitement of traveling Space A---military flights throughout the world. On Monday, Oct. 17th, we took a lear jet to Andrews AFB. It was suppose to be an 1 hour and 45 minute trip but it took 10 minutes longer as we circled around the base waiting for President Obama to make his trip to North Carolina to discuss his economic policies. When the President is at Andrews, the whole airport closes down until his departure.
We took a shuttle to the new Presidential Inn which is a 286 room facility built in 2010. The friendly staff gave us a beautiful room on the 3rd floor. The leaves are changing color and a stream and hiking path is right behind the Inn. Larry and I took a long walk and enjoyed the 70 degree sunny climate.
Tonight we'll get a shuttle with a military wife we met on the plane, and we'll head for Baltimore airport where we'll take a military/commercial flight to Ramstein, Germany and then to Aviano, a base in Italy. The flight begins at 10 PM so we'll sleep on the plane and wake up across the ocean. We hope to see Venice, Trieste, Florence, Naples and Rome.
There are six bases in Italy where we can stay for the cost of the room.
Life with Larry is always an adventure. I'll write more as we travel.
