Flying business class makes the first day so much more enjoyable. Air Canada will almost insist on feeding you twice on an 8-hour flight, but you still get a good 4 to 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
Our first day was planned to get us into vacation mode. We got off the plane and onto a train to Florence. Once there, a 20-minute walk to our hotel and the much-awaited shower got us back to normal. We already had a reservation at one of our favourite restaurants for 20:00 (an early dinner for the Italians) to eat bisteca fiorentina (the thing to eat in Florence). It left us with 4 hours to walk around town, drink an Aperol spritz and eat gelato. I can’t think of any better way to start our vacations.
