Spending spring break in Barcelona and Florence was a wonderful, relaxing and beautiful experience. So it wasn't surprising that leaving was the most tedious and difficult part of our trip.
Airports are always annoying and stressful and full of people who are in bad moods. But most are run in a very corporate and professional manner--I don't think that the Milan International Airport got that memo.
When you walk into the airport the first thing that you will notice has absolutely nothing to do with travel but rather a topless model sporting some new underwear from an Italian clothing line. The advertisement was probably 50 feet tall and hung in the middle of the terminal for flights to the US. Now when you are angered and stressed do you really think that we want to look at some 95 lb model telling us to leave the airport to get the knickers that she has on.
While we were stuck in the Milan airport for another 55 hours we found that she was not the only one. It seems that the airport officials will sell ad space just about anywhere they can argue. I'm kinda expecting the jetway to be a bra ad next time I'm over there.
