Italy - Going Home (15 Jul 2011) 

Our 2.5 hour train trip from Florence to Milan airport was thankfully problem-free.  We had proper seats this time round, and our luggage remained intact even though we had to leave it unattended at the baggage area because we there was no place to fit it where we were sitting.

We were greeted by chaos at the airport though.  At the queue to claim my tax refund, a Chinese man tried to cut my queue until I told him off.  And at the queues to check our hand carry bags and to stamp our passports, there another man who successfully cut our queue.  He would nonchalantly just stand beside the lady in front of us, as if he knew her.  A thought they might be a couple who quarreled and were not on speaking terms, but he was mistaken. We were glad we arrived early at the airport, as it took us almost 2 hours to complete the immigration procedures.
