Europe - Part 1 - On the way to Milan

    So I recently got a chance to go to Europe, partly for work and partly for pleasure. I was in Italy for two weeks and then went to Spain and France. This trip symbolized and meant a lot to me. After having my heart broken recently, I needed this. I needed to go away to a place I have never been to and meet people from all over the world.
    Lets start from my flight experience. I will tell this to the world. NEVER FLY DELTA. DELTA= Does Not Ever Leave The Airport. My flight from Chicago to NYC was delayed and I thought I would miss my flight to Milan. I did manage to catch my flight, only to realize that due to 1. Technical issues 2. Weather issues 3. Engine issues, the flight got canceled. Delta was so poorly managed. I finally got a hotel room at 1 in the morning. My flight was rescheduled for the next day. The flight AGAIN got canceled due to engine issues. They then rescheduled it from 6pm to 10pm. Suddenly at 10pm they realized that they did not have the crew. They then called out every passenger's name (200 passengers) to give them food coupons when all the restaurants on the airport were closed. Finally at 3 am they found another crew and our flight took off. On my way to Milan, I was sitting next to this really nice guy who was Italian and works as a music professor in Arizona State University. He made me listen to some very cool classical music (as I have no knowledge about it). He was going to Milan to perform in a concert and he made me listen to the piece he was going to play. It was awesome!
    I finally reach Milan. I had a HUGE smile on my face and could not believe I was in ITALY! Never had I imagined I would get such an opportunity. Immigration was a breeze. It was surprising that there was no customs (unlike the rigorous US customs). My bag arrived very quickly, however, it was torn. Did I mention, I HATE DELTA?
