Well....Made it! 
After expecting a severe hassle at the airport, I have determined that I will always take David with me....Things went very well, we were the first in line, and there was no hassle.
I wasnt even charged for my bags!!!!  Wow!!!  I can even say that again....WOW!|!!!!  Shucks, I can even say it backwards....grin!!!!
So, the fear of having to sit in bulkhead was alleviated, and I didnàt have to sit there...I was moved to the back of the plane, where I grabbed a book, a drink and promptly fell asleep until the meal, such as it was, was served.
After dinner, I watched Columbiana and Real Steel again, then went back to sleep until I felt the pressure begin to change, indicating landing in Lisbon.
Once in Lisbon, I was able to give Largo a chance to go and potty, but, she had no desire to...so we went back inside and parked it until time to go.
Once in Italy, it took forever for bags to be unloaded.  They were mostly retrieved(they did manage to loose a couple of bags, that were inside of Largoàs dog crate----which, again,  I did not have to pay for)....But, she has enough food for a few days, and they have said that they would get my crate and bags to me in a couple of days....Sigh,.....Actually, it worked out ok, as I do not think that I could have gotten more luggage in the car if I had wanted to....I feel so like I have run away from home!!!

So, this AM, I was up, and took care of my girlàs needs, and then wandered around the place, getting a feel for everything.  I will try to take pictures tomorrow and get them posted.

Guilia and I went into town and got some groceries, and an Italian cell phone....some internet access on my cell as well. 

Internet is spotty here, and that is one thing that will have to be worked on....and, I still do not  have my cell phone up and running....another thing that will have to be fixed shortly, or I will be irritated....which, I do not want, while I am here.

I spoke to David today....I am really really going to miss seeing him....I will have to stay busy, so as not to °jones° too badly.....

Enough for now, I have to go play with 11 Siberian Husky puppies!!
