We are about to complete our 7.5 hour cross-Atlantic flight into Rome. Got to watch Talledaga Nights (dumb) and dinner wasn’t too bad (salad and a hot sandwich). Got only about an hour or two of sleep total, but it was often interrupted with turbulence and the occasional smack in the face as someone quickly walked by on their way to the bathroom.

It was strange seeing the sunset in Newark at 5:30 and then seeing the sunrise a mere 6 hours later. Can’t wait to see how I feel later today, which will be the middle of the night to my body.

Em and I so excited to get into Rome and get settled in our hotel room and then start roaming. We’ve already exchanged the lowly dollar for the mighty Euro, with the exchange rate being $0.68. It didn’t feel too good to give the lady $300 and only get back $200 in Euro….grrrrrrr.

Well, off to wait in line so the can rifle through our luggage. Ciao.
