Flight Plans

Here we go!

And it's Roma! We went and picked up our tickets the other day and now are all set. We fly out on April 15th from Tampa - hit Atlanta for just over an hour and then go directly to Rome. We'll pick up a car and head directly to the water. Like so many other moves that we have had, one of our first trips or sights to see the water. So we'll be off to the Mediterranean Sea as our first sights. Apparently, Fiumicino is the aeroporto that we fly into. It, by the look on the map, is very close to the Sea, which means we'll go there first before heading into Roma to catch a few sights, and then up to Firenze. 

The second deal, besides the airplane tickets and the car, is that we picked up a rail pass for the first three months that we're there. It will allow us to travel to any of the 31 available countries in Europe on any day. So we plan to work and travel on the train for a bit so that we can see as much as possible in as little time.

My suggestion to all travelers - AAA. We, like you I'm sure, thought that they were going to be very expensive. We were pleasantly surprised at the deals and all the service that are now available to us. We would certainly recommend them to anyone traveling aboard.

So now all we have to do is sell all of David's artwork, all of our furniture and go. YES!!! The excitement is starting to build. Sleep is becoming difficult because we're both thinking of things that have to be done or that we need to remember. The good news - we're just 3 weeks away.

Thanks for stopping in - there is more to come! =)
