Travel Day to Venice

The taxi showed up in Paris on time and everyone headed for the airport and the next stop.  Luckily, the group did not go back to Zombieland (Charles DeGaulle) but Orly.  The group flew on Transavia Airlines but Debbie kept thinking Transylvania Airlines in her head.  This part of the trip was relatively easy except for the 5.50 euro that Debbie got charged for her soft drink and Larry’s coffee.  She learned her lesson and will not wake Larry again to ask if he wants anything.  The airline was so clever.  They waited until one took a sip and then said “That will be 5.50.”  All the passengers scrambled for money. Lucky for them, Joyce slept through the drinks.

Once we arrived in Venice, the airport was packed and really loud.  Guess where some of the Hare Krishna’s have gone?  Yep, Venice airport.    It was a total flashback experience for the older set.  Once they found the correct person, Joyce had it under control.  The group picked up their transportation passes for the week and were off to a private water taxi.  After about 10 minutes walking, they arrived at the boat dock.  Larry and Greg kept hoping for a flashy wooden boat.  (Debbie’s description – Theirs was something like a classic mahogany cruiser.)  They did not get the classic boat.

Once the boat arrived, the luggage was loaded, people scrambled on and ran to the back except for Debbie and Jerry.    The people in the back laughed, waved, and took pictures.  Debbie on the other hand was most distressed.  (Jerry was sympathetic and tried to keep Debbie calm). The driver had placed her luggage in a perilous position.  In her opinion, it was halfway or more out of the boat.   Every time the boat hit a wave, the boat bounced.  Every time the boat bounced, the people in the back squealed and laughed.  Debbie’s bag also bounced going airborne causing Debbie to cover her eyes, wring her hands and moan “No, No, No”.  She knew if the luggage went over the side of the boat that those 38.5 pounds of luggage were going to sink to the bottom of the canal and she would not have any clothes.  Each time she suggested to the driver that the bag should be moved.  He waved his hands and said “No”.  She had even decided what she would need to buy, who she would yell at, requested compensation value and the compensation settlement value.

They do not believe that the driver is happy with his job.  At least, he did not seem happy to the Les Cheap girls.  First, he tempted the wrath of  Debbie with the luggage and then refused a request from Joyce to call the rental owner to get the destination.   He also waved Joyce out of the front of the boat.  One should not tempt the  wrath of both the Les Cheap Girls.  Luckily for him, he did call the owner and slowed the boat down so the bag did not go into the canal.

The new flat is very nice.  They were ecstatic to have a toilet and shower in the same room.  They also said farewell to the circular stairs of death. (Hopefully, these will not reappear.) We felt quite Italian with laundry hanging in the streets.  We strolled down to eat and shop for groceries.  After a leisurely meal, we went to the Coop grocery store.  What a shocker!  Before we sat down to eat, there were no people in the grocery store.  When we finished, it was packed.  Do you remember the game pacman?  Imagine a fast paced pacman except pacman was dragging a rolling basket behind them, blocking pathways, and whacking you in the legs.  After about 20 minutes, Jerry, Larry and Debbie broke free and stood outside in stunned awe.  They all kept repeating “I’m never going in again..I’m never going in again.”  Eventually, the others were also spit out of the maze.  Everyone had some recovery gelato before limping home.
