Ciao from Rome, Italy

We made it! Flights went smoothly  with no issues  today is just going to be a recovery from jet lag day.

Got checked in for the first leg from Dallas to Montreal  and got drinks at the lounge

cocktail before our first flight

 

Had access to the first class lounge in Montreal for our layover, which inclued drinks, a buffet, comfy chairs, and a custom pasta station!

Next was the long flight to Rome, but we each had a pod with lay flat seats to stretch out in.

The people that we are renting the apartment from arranged for a driver to pick us up, so our transition from the airport was easy. I failed to warn my parents though what crazy drivers Italians are, lol.  Got settled in, and everyone is napping from jet lag.   Tomorrow we will start seeing the sites, and post some fabulous pics!

Just like the Griswold family from the movie, the bags are packed, and we’re taking off in the morning.  Unfortunately “Rusty” couldn’t make this trip because of his upcoming wedding and new puppy, but we’ll get him and Alex on the next trip!  Please stay tuned for daily updates over the next three weeks, and comment away on the posts.  Thanks for staying tuned and enjoying the trip with us!!
