Home Stretch, Leg One

Milan, Lombardy, Italy
Up on time, to breakfast on time, on the Hotel Villa Malpensa shuttle van on time, through check in on time, through immigration on time, in and out of the club lounge on time, boarded on time, took off on time. 

Just the way to end a trip and begin the journey home. We are on an American Airlines 767, non-stop from Milan Malpensa to JFK. No stopping in London. Nice. 

Look who is on the flight? It's a guy who looks just like Bernie. He--and his wife--insist on keeping their window shades open. It is universally customary to close those shades on multi-hour overseas flights--day or night. Weird; they wouldn't.

It does make it tough for people to sleep or watch a movie but...

The business class cabin on this 767 is nice; the seat adjusts to a fully flat bed. But, of course, the jet lag minimalization goal coming home (unlike going over) is to stay awake.
