Day 1: The Vatican's papal itinerary (and already a typo)

Just for today, from the Vatican press office ... note the underlined section:

At midday today, the Holy Father departed from Rome's Fiumicino airport. Following a flight of more than 7,000 kilometres, his plane is due to land at 4 p.m. local time (10 p.m. in Rome) at Andrews Air Force Base near Washington D.C. This is the Benedict XVI's eighth apostolic trip outside Italy and his first to the U.S.A. as Pope.

U.S. President George W. Bush and his wife Nancy will welcome the Pope as he descends from his aircraft. No speeches are scheduled for this first meeting and the welcome ceremony proper will take place tomorrow at 10.30 a.m. local time (4.30 p.m. in Rome) at the White House, official residence of the U.S. president.

After landing, Benedict XVI will travel by car to the apostolic nunciature in Washington D.C where he will spend the rest of the day.

"Nancy" would be Ronald Reagan's widow. George W. Bush's wife is named Laura.

Goof.

Anyway, more details on the Andrews Air Force Base arrival (no public statement is expected):

DIGNITARIES GREETING THE POPE:

Cardinal Francis George, OMI, president of the USCCB
Bishop Gerald F. Kicanas, vice president of the USCCB
Msgr. David J. Malloy, STD, general secretary of the USCCB

Attempts to get my name on that list in the last days fell through.
