Craig Lewis: File Under Pain » Blog Archive

En route to Italy

I am traveling to Mendrisio today, and tonight actually. I love flying out of Greenville as it only takes five minutes to check my bags and get to the gate, it doesn’t get any easier than that. And today I was lucky enough to avoid the bike charge somehow.

Of course, this morning was the first day that I woke up and it wasn’t raining since I have been home, perfect timing as always. I heard on the news that one town close by had had so much rain fall that it’s water lines were broken and they now have no running water. Flooded with no running water, doesn’t sound like so much fun.

It should be another long day and night for me. I have six hours to kill in Newark before my flight to Milan. I should probably just grab a taxi and head into the city, but that might be a little too stressful.

This trip to Europe will be my fourth for the year and I still have one more to go in December for a training camp with the team. I am hoping this one treats me a little better than my last transatlantic flight from Ireland. Hopefully, once I have had H1N1 I will not get it again.
