Something About Airplanes.

Those pesky Wright Brothers.  

I’m sitting on a plane right now on my way to Italy.  Final destination, Rome.  Going to visit family, sightsee, and relax.  It gives me a chance to practice my Italian.  My mother’s family lives in Rome, and she was born there and lived there until about 12 years old.  

I’m pretty excited, as you can imagine.  It’s not my first time, but every time you get the opportunity it’s a great deal of fun.  We’re staying in an apartment one block away from the Colosseum.  I’ll have internet access, so I’ll keep you updated.  

It’s not the best weather this time of year, but it’s certainly warmer than Connecticut right now.  The ten to twenty degrees will really make a difference.  

I’m putting the over/under as to when I eat my first pizza at 2 hours.  There’s a good chance that’ll be the first thing I do.  

We’ll be in Rome for 8 days.  I’ll be coming back the Saturday after Thanksgiving.  I’m really interested to see what we end up doing for Thanksgiving dinner.  My bet is we won’t miss it when we’re stuffing our faces with good Italian cooking.  

We’ll I need to try and get some sleep.  We land at noon local time, so I need to try and get a good night sleep.  I don’t want to waste any time.  

Goodnight Canada.
