10-17-25 I Made it to Rome
This last 24 hours is pretty much a blur. The flight went well, the food was quite tasty and my seat mates were lovely. I apologize if once again this is more photo dump than story but I am so very tired. Nancy and Rick from Winnipeg were lovely seat mates and I enjoyed flying into the sun rise with her. I did sleep off and on and watched a couple movies. Just before landing 4 different FAs came and thanked me for their treats. I am glad they felt seen.
It was a bit of a journey to get to terminal 3 for my suitcase. It also seemed hard to let Norma know where I was for pickup. She is somehow related to the woman who owns the Airbnb we are staying at in Trastevere. She is a crazy driver, although the traffic would say that that is necessary . I used my translator app to have a pleasant conversation and I must do ok with the accent as she smiles, responds and echoes words if I need pronunciation help.
Never back to our home for 4 more nights, I was very happy with it and Dave assisted with getting my bags up. We went back to have beverages with Deb on the ‘patio’ across the street. Our stay really is in a glorious part of town.
I showered and took a Power Nap before we headed off to the piazza to meet Silvia, our guide for the walking food and wine tour of the area. She is a true Roman and very informative. We had two couples from Houston, a couple ladies from LA, two from Calgary
The three of us decided to find some bevies to bring back to the suite. We are all pretty tired. We laughed watching a little HGTV and sports on Italian TV.
Tomorrow is an early one so I really do need sleep as I have basically only napped in the last 32 hours.
