After a two-hour delay in Chicago, we are finally in Brussels. We missed our connecting flight to Rome but may be able to make our train to Orvieto. If we miss our train, we have to purchase new tickets and arrive later to our destination. Dad is picking us up in Orvieto so hopefully he’s reading this and will plan for our possible delay.
