Just back from holiday, visited Etna, Stromboli and Vulcano.  Back a day late due to thunderstorms and Alitalia.  Will never fly with them again.  A full report of the trip is available here.

Continuing theme of Alitalia, Chris Dabrowski came up with the following meanings for Alitalia

Always Late In Transit, Always Late In Arrival
Airplane Landed In Tokyo And luggage In Alaska
A Little Italian Tit And Lotsa Italian Ass
A Little Italian Tradition And Lotsa Italian Attitude
