We are finally in Rome after quite an annoying fiasco. Our flight from JFK to London went off without a hitch and we were even able to carry on our backpacks. We ended up missing our flight to Rome, along with about 37 other Americans who booked their flights on Cheapticket.com. So they got us on another flight to Milan and we almost missed the next flight to Rome! Unbelievable. But we booked it through the airport, skipped about 300 angry foreigners in the security line and made it just in time. We were picked up in Rome by a fat Italian man with a phat Mercedes who drove us to Hotel Panda.
Our hotel is nice...small, but clean (and we all know how important that is). We are close to the Spanish Steps in a bustling part of Rome but have only just begun to explore as we have been in comas since we got here. Jet lag is kicking our butts. But we love where we're staying....although Jennifer has taken a strong dislike (one might call it hatred) for a man who stands on our corner. His face for some reason, is painted gold. We don't know why he is there. But he is there. And Jennifer doesn't like it.
We hope to post more tomorrow after we've done all the touristy Rome things.
Missing everyone!
