We Made it!!

Well, we're here. It was a long, uncomfortable flight, but I'm pretty sure I slept a few hours, and while Lisa doesn't think she slept at all, I'm pretty sure she did too. Getting around the airport was fairly straight-forward, as was getting the train ticket for the Leonardo Express into Rome.

Once we made it to Termini Station, it got fairly confusing. It took us 15 minutes or so to find the Tourist Information Booth, where we bought our Roma Pass's. It includes entry to two sights (We're definitely using one of those on the Colleseum tomorrow) and unlimited Subway and Bus rides. Then we found the metro to Piazza Barberini and walked up the Via Veneto to our hotel.

We took a few quick pictures from the room and from the roof of the hotel, since it has such a commanding view of the city. We'll be leaving the hotel in a little bit to start heading over to the Vatican for our 2:00 tour. (It's noon now.)

Ciao!
