Friday we got up, strolled around Venice for the last time, and then traveled by vaporetto and bus to the Marco Polo airport where we to catch a flight to Frankfurt and then on to Dulles. As you can tell by this email, we missed our connection. The Venice flight left late due to weather. When we disembarked, the flight attendant said sorry that we were inconvenienced and wished us well and safe journey. Well, the Frankfurt Airport was a zoo. No one to help, etc. We waited in line at a Lufthansa transfer point--we were traveling from Venice to Frankfurt on Lufthansa--they said there were no more flights out on Friday and they would have to rebook us. After much back and forth, this was accomplished. They sent us to a new hotel somewhere in Frankfurt, gave us a free dinner with wine and a small convenience package consisting of one size very large t-shirt, tooth brush and paste, etc.
I have been trying to contact United to get on an earlier flight, but so far no luck. So hopefully we will arrive home Saturday night rather than our expected time on Friday night.
I will post more about Venice later.
