Some Americans can't get it because it is broadcast somewhere just above channel 13. Our TV can pick up anything. Ann Cummings is doing much better now. She is still sore though. I can get a ticket for no less price.
Few airlines offer better rates for servicemen.
When we flew to the States in October the military discounted rate was actually higher than the rate we ended up with. I hope you are flying the German airlines from here and not the Italian one. Either one will get you there, but flying on Alitalia is more like taking a bus. We will gladly take you to Rome for a day or two while you are here. However, there will only be time to see the Apian Way and the catacombs.
