Viva Italia!

Well, it was a loooong night, a looong flight, but we made it! Here's the scene a the big pre- boarding soiree. Just happened to be near Scott Hamilton and speed skating legend Dan Jansen, who's staying at our hotel.

The flight featured my first ever aborted takeoff...after being number 30 in line at JFK. So much for a quiet Sat. nite. And a spirited (no pun intended) vodka drinking contest took place behind us, so very little sleep. Sat next to Mike, who'll be the floor manager on the set w/ Bob Costas. He's normally floor mgr. for Conan O' Brien, so maybe have an in for tickets now.
Good view of Alps at top.

Good news...we have the day off! ZZZZZZZZ
