Run for our money!!!

After our carousel flight around and around New York we arrived to the tarmac in the middle of the runway miles away from the actual airport-2 hours late. We literally SPRINTED to our gate. Of course we had time to pick up some food-BK and a club for the road and a quick stop into Brookstone for a head pillow and blanket for Carly (apparently our priorities were food and sleep no matter if we made it to the flight or not). Needless to say we get to the flight and get on board. We were lucky enough to be the LAST people on the flight and there were TONS of extra seats around us. As much as me and Carly love each other- the 8 hours with only cm’s between us wasn’t gonna cut it ;)

On a bad note, Eddy and Kristina weren’t able to get on their standby flight from Atlanta to Rome, They have to fly from Atlanta to Milan and then buy another ticket from Milan to Roma. They say they will be there by 1230 Rome time, only time will tell J

Viola! We were off. The Air Italia staff was great, and we got complimentary wine. Some red and some white – guess who’s was who’s? ;)

We’re off to put our Brookstone pillows to good use!!!

BON APPETITO

Our in flight food was lean cuisine Italian style.. YUMM-O.

We devoured it like it was the last time we would see food!!!

Off to sleep, we will chat from Rome!!

<--- thats us in our BENZ from the airport to our apt in Rome :)
