Ok, so much to report. And we have many pictures, but they are on the one ipad that we have and gus is watching tv on that ipad. So I'll upload sooner or later.
Business class on AA well basically is awesome. Dude, they walk around and hand you fresh hot towels with tongs. What the?
And now we are at the Virgin lounge in NY and hello? FREE ice cream. FREE chips, FREE cookies, FREE waters, FREE soda, FREE food. I know they say money can't buy you happiness, but money sure buys you perks.
Writing on one of Virgin's business access computers before we board.
HAD to write, because um, went to go to the bathroom and opened the door and some guy was taking a dump. WHOOPS! Luckily I only saw his feet, we never met eyes and I ran away in horror so he wouldn't know who opened the door and I wouldn't know who he was. Trying to block out his shoe color so I don't recognize him.
Toodles.

B-Class to NYC (Gus)
I travel a bit for work so I had a bunch of AA points. No better way to use them than to fly cross country in a lazy boy!
Admirals Club (Kris)
Oooooh! Aaaaah!
Made it to the Admiral's Club. Yes, I was the plus 1 to hubby. It really is like a club. You have to check in and everything and then you go up a special elevator to a floor of calm ambience. Basically the complete opposite of where you have to go with the "regular" people. HA HAHAHA.
Seriously, this area is calming - something fascinating right before you board your plane. I'm typing on a computer for free that has an AWESOME screen by the way.
Gus and I just enjoyed free muffins, bananas, apples, chex mix and coffee. Of course they have a full bar in here but it is 7 am so no drinking before noon! They've even divided the area into sections - one area for tv watchers, one area for chair massages and one area for just quiet reading. Good stuff.
OK well keeping you up to date!
By the way, Gus just told me that Kim Kardashian saw Reggie Bush two weeks before she announced her divorce! SCANDALOUS!

Just Five Hours (Kris)
Here's our BEFORE Italia picture. We're happy but boy are we tired. We haven't seen each other in days and now we'll be traveling at the hip for the next three weeks. If we bicker, my hope is to keep it to a max of 15 minutes a day.
Did I finish all my work? I think so. Man, I sure hope so. Thanks colleagues for helping with my mind that "checked out" in the last week.
I apologize in advance for not bringing any goodies from Europa back to the States. My bag is packed to the brim and I'm not sure how I can fit any tchotkies.
What else? MUCH LOVE to friends and family.
We'll update when we get to Londontown!
Oh and Gus wanted me to write ARRIVEDERCI BITCHES! :)
HOLY SHT*T (Kris)
Holy sh*t!
I can't believe it. Just HOURS before we head off on our trip.
Needless to say, Gus and I haven't seen each other for more than an hour at a time in this last week. We're both swamped with work, ATTEMPTING to make sure all our stuff is covered before we head out. C'est la vie! Don't know Italian equivalent to that.
I'm packed to the brim. Still last minute things.
Anything I could have forgotten?
WHAT HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ON A TRIP?
As long as I got my passport, some cash and a credit card, I'm good to go right?
LAST MINUTE TIPS ANYONE?
Folks have told me:
Beware of the dirty bathrooms. Bring your own TP.
Beware of SMELL. Peeps in Europe just aren't into deodorant I've been told.
Pickpocketing really happens.
Ok we'll report something late tonight. Perhaps upload a BEFORE picture.
Ciao!

Keep the Comments Goin! (Kris)
Wow, shouts out to ate lisa, ate thea, sandra, kim, jennifer and more for the comments. hope you don't forget about this blog in a week. keep checking back. we promise, more pictures than words.
Who is Who? (Kris)
Ok, folks have been reading and getting confused on who is posting. Me and Gus will be more diligent about IDing who is writing. My posts will indicate in the title line from now on.
However, a KEY identifier is that Gus uses curse words freely and writes them full out whereas me, I'll write sh*t instead of the real deal.
Later.
