Well we are still in Newark, NJ (not by choice I can guarantee you). We spent much of yesterday at the airport arguing with uncooperative Continental airline agents. We were put on stand by the airline and actually had positions 1,2,3 on their list for a flight to Paris, only to see the spots go to another family due to major ineptitude on Continental's part. The state of things in the US airports is pretty pathetic. Customer service no longer exists in the travel industry as I see it. We are constantly given the run around and no one seems to care. We have spent two days in Newark, NJ as a result.
However, on the brighterside I was able to watch the Argentina-Serbia and Montenegro match which was amazing. Argentina won 6-0 with a display of textbook soccer. Their passing and finishing was terrific. Go Argentina!
Today we are confirmed for a flight to Zurich at 6:50 p.m. so with any luck we should be in Europe by early tomorrow morning. Once in Zurich we will spend a little time in Switzerland and then take a Eurorail train to Milan, Italy.
Right now mama, dada, and I are just relaxing in a cafe and taking in a world cup match, Mexico-Angola. Tata.
