Leaving for Tuscany

I’ll be back in Italy tomorrow afternoon. My church friend and Alpha coursemate Jeanne is getting married in Tuscany, and I’m singing in the choir!
I was all revved up to go. We were practicing our singing for several weeks. I even bought something green to wear – green’s the theme and I hardly had anything green in my wardrobe! However, I just had a nasty scare because I didn’t read my flight details carefully.
I thought I was going to travel with 3 other church friends all the way. They had booked their tickets earlier than I had, but I managed to get the same flight leaving Singapore. The flight would stop at another European city, then fly down to Rome. From the Rome airport, we would take a shuttle to the train station, and from there, take the train to Siena.
Then I realised that we were on different flights leaving for Rome! I would arrive over 2 hours later than them. So I will now have to figure my own way from the Rome airport to the shuttle, then to the train station. I’m not entirely confident that I will overcome language problems, but I’ll point at words in my travel documents.
What a bummer. It would be more fun sitting on the train for a few hours if my friends were with me. But it’s not like I haven’t done this many times before as a student , 10 years ago. I can do it again. I’m fine with being on my own as I can explore the place at my leisure. In any case, He is always with me and He’s seen me through much more harrowing times. VanPod and a good book will keep me company.
This afternoon I’ll try calling the airline office to see if they can bump me ahead for the earlier flight, so I can travel with my friends. I doubt they can do much.
Aww I’ll stop moping. There’s still much packing to be done. It’s a storm in a teacup. Soon I’ll be basking in the Tuscan sun!
