Leaving for Rome was a bit hectic. We were still packing right up until the last minute, we didn't get that much sleep, and we had our family over in the morning to say goodbye, however we weren't really saying goodbye we were all running around like nuts! Go figure that's us! We left for the airport at 12pm our flight was not until 3:30 but Lisa always has to be early for planes (I'm a nervous flyer I probably drive my Husband crazy! None the less we were at the airport...even though the security line was long, we got through very quickly, and relaxed in the terminal before our flight. We boarded our flight, and we were on our way to Charlotte, NC for our first leg of the trip. We got to Charlotte a bit early, and made it to our connecting flight just as it was boarding. We boarded the plane and as it took off i was filled with excitement that in a short 9 hours and 45 min (ha ha) we would be in another country. Well that was the longest flight I'd ever experienced in my life...we really didn't sleep, so when we got off the plane I wanted to kiss the ground! Rome was an amazing adventure, and I've decided that I'm absolutely in love with Europe, so our next vacation I think will be to London! See me dreaming already. Here are a few pictures of our amazing vacation. I feel blessed that I was able to experience all of this amazing history. I will never forget this trip!
