And....we did it again!!


Not checking the ticket for our exact flight time, we got to the Athens airport about 5 hours before our flight.  Oops!!  Sally needs to be in charge of this information from now on (good thing this was my last flight before heading home) Sally forgave us since we were able to locate a McDonald’s in the airport.  And, we made our flight, so that helped too.  Better too early than too late!

We made it to Rome with all of our baggage, so life is good.  We checked into Camping Roma at a late enough hour that it was already dark out.  We obviously went for the cheapest place for the night…the tents, thinking this was a great idea.  After struggling a bit in the darkness, we finally found the lights inside, and 3 beds awaited us, but that was about it.  No power point to charge our cameras, and walls that were made of a canvas material.  Perfect for eavesdropping on those around you.  Not so perfect for when you’re trying to sleep, and people in your surrounding tents are singing and chatting, or people are rolling their suitcases on the cobblestone path outside at all hours of the night.
