We finally made it. A three hour layover, a nine hour plane ride, two screaming babies, three tylenol pm's, one creeper trying to hit on me, and a long cab ride later... We made it. The flight over went smoothly. Evie Scogin and I left around 4.30 pm E. We found our seats and fortunately for me, I was in an exit row. I had plenty of room to stretch my legs. As soon as I had gotten myself comfortable, the captain comes over the speaker and reminds us of the nine hour flight ahead. I believe I heard a unanimous groan make its way around the cabin. All was well until two infants decided to get into a screaming match. Sleep was hard to come by so when we finally made it to the Rome airport, I can only imagine that appeared to others like the walking dead.
Trying to find a payphone, one that was funtional at least, proved to be quite the task. we finally found some towards the entrance of the airport where a lovely woman gave us change to alert the apartment we were on our way. People have been nothing but helpful since we've arrived. I hate to admit this, but I was slightly suprised. I realize it would help tremendously if I actually spoke italian, but I'm doing what I can with the spanish with which I'm familiar.
Our apartment is unbelievably quaint. A modest living room, small kitchen appliances, a large bathroom, and two comfortable bedrooms. The rooms are adornded in pink and green, so it's rather obvious they knew a few ladies were going to be living here.
I think we'll be heading out soon to purchase soaps, shampoos, etc. Hopefully I will return with more photos to share!
