Rome to Narita Japan on Allitalia

My trip to Asia began with a trip into New York to get a Chinese Tourist Visa at the Chinese Embassy.

After my trek into New York, I went to work: Frankfurt, Copenhagen, Rome. The Rome was a special trip because I only had to work the flight over. This happens when there is an aircraft change. Two flight attendants were not needed and I was lucky enough to be one of them. I asked to get released in Rome and caught an Alitalia flight from there to Narita, Japan.

I have somewhow managed to get photos of everything that is not interesting and missed everything that was but here goes:

Almost everyone on my airplane was Japanese. There were very few Italians.

Above is a photo from my coach seat. I was so exhausted from being up all night working that I had to do something about my seat. I explained my situation to a really nice male flight attendant (I have been up all night working, flight attendant for Continental, need a seat that has more leg room because I was at the bulk head, would you help me look for one?) He said he would do what he could do. I smiled gratefully and took my seat again. I was extremely exhausted.

Next thing I knew this angel of a flight attendant asked me to see my ticket (ie code for we are moving you up to first class and making it look like you are supposed to be there). I "showed" it to him and I was suddenly ensconced in a seat in First Class. I was saved.
Check out this leg room.

Since I often work in First, I was very interested in their service. Here is a photo report:

It was delicious and fun. Different from Continental but still very good.

Breakfast

These two were sitting in front of me. One is an Alitalia flight attendant travelling to a wedding with his buddy. They told me they kept looking back at me throughout the flight because they were jealous that I could sleep so well. I told them; all you've got to do is work a flight from New York to Rome and then you can sleep through anything.
My new friends invited me to Sicily any time I want to go and I just may take them up on that offer.

So concludes my flight from FCO to NRT
