three months of being in Europe. Even though I'm sitting in London
heathrow airport beginning this 24 hours of waiting, and flying, and
waiting and flying, I still can't fully realize that concept.
I have a nice 2 and a half hour flight to Rome at 8pm London time,
arriving in Rome at 11:30pm Rome time. Then I have a 9:50am flight
from Rome to Newark.
10 hours in FCO airport? I'm going to get to know that airport pretty
darn well.
And of course I am flying my absolute favorite airline, alitalia. If
there is one tip I would give to anyone ever studying abroad in Italy,
or traveling to Italy on vacation, it would not be to see something or
go somewhere or eat at a certain restaurant. No it would be to never,
ever, fly alitalia. I cannot even begin to tell you how horrible this
airline is (they filed for bankruptcy, how's that for a start?). They
are like the ryanair "regular" airlines. No, they are worse,
considering at least I get what I pay for with Ryanair. Their planes
are old, service is terrible, and they are always in the furthest gate
from the security check in. I just walked halfway to Rome to get to
the gate, and will probably have to take a bus to the plane.
I hope I have Internet in Rome so I can do one last final post, or
several since I have so much time. If not I will write the last post
and put it up when I arrive home. Just sit tight, could be a wild (or
extremely boring) last 24 hours.
