Both flights left and arrived on time and, in fact, the
flight from Atlanta to Rome arrived 20 minutes earlier than scheduled. We had perfect flying weather and a smooth
flight all the way with a nice sunset at 40,000 ft.
Our flight took us across France and then above the Mediterranean (Tyrrhenien Sea)
with some gorgeous views of the
Italian coast.
Upon arrival in Rome, we were
fortunate that there no line at passport control and we breezed right through
to get our luggage and meet up with Joni McClain to share a 30 minute ride to via
Nomentana 34. Mary Virginia and Carolyn Brockland met us at Le Orsoline and we
were able to check in right away. We
unpacked, relaxed, showered, and went out for a late lunch and a walk in the
neighborhood. The weather in Rome was
perfect with blue skies and temperatures in the mid-70’s.
Several members of the group (Terry, Lauri, Sandy, Jan, and
Val) arrived either yesterday or this afternoon and we met them later in the
day. Sandy, Joni, Jan, Val, Bev, and I
gathered at 7:30 pm for a brief walk to I Butteri for dinner where we had a
table adjacent to a large open window for a most enjoyable time. Tomorrow morning we have a free morning and will all gather at 2:30 pm for an afternoon tour of San Clemente.
Glad the flights went well and you were able to seamlessly connect to your group!
