My trip started off with a minor hiccup -- my flight from Chicago to Rome was delayed by an hour and a half. Just before we were about to board, I saw three of my coworkers on their way to a conference in Brazil!

This box prevented me from stretching out my left leg. Fortunately, no one sat in the seat next to me, so I was able stretch out diagonally.
I tried to get myself on Rome time by going to sleep as early as possible. But first, I took some pictures of this city (I think it's Lansing) and the sunset.
Next was Toronto and various cities northwest of Buffalo, including one that had a fireworks show. Then we flew over Buffalo, whose baseball stadium was lit up:

I woke up the next morning, and opened my window just in time to see Mont Blanc:
