September 13 - Leaving for Venice and Slovenia.

Well, here we are sitting in the Newark airport, waiting for the flight to take us to Venice.  'We' consists of Matt and me, and Matt's sister Nora, and her friend Pam.  We board the huge plane in about 10 minutes.  So far, the funniest thing that happened was to Nora on the last flight.  We were on the plane in Cleveland, waiting to get to our seats.  All of a sudden, a phone starts playing Harry Connick, and we all looked at each other.  She finally realized that it was from her phone.  Since it was new, she did not know how to turn it off.  So I said, let me look, thinking it was an Apple Phone.  When I realized that I could not figure it out, it was passed back toMatt, who just turned it off.  What a way to call attention to ourselves.
