Rome

After about 7 hrs on the plane we arrived at 12:35pm Italy time. I slept the entire flight...just in time for my coffee and muffin prior to landing. Kim however, sat awake the entire time. Good flight I thought...:) Tons more leg room than Air Transat!
Its a suprising 27C here today but a bit overcast.
ok....check it out....while picking up our baggage the conveyor stops after about half the bags come out...10 mins goes by.....we are both getting antsy, only to find that a loose strap from my bag got caught in the dumb thing before ripping it off and putting a fist size rip in my bag....Oops!...my bad (blush)
Found a shuttle to the hotel that made only 2 stops before ours...awesome.
Hotel Londra-Cargill....nice place ...nothing fancy but clean and in the midst of all the tourist stuff. Perfect!
Its about 3pm now...gonna clean, go get a bite to eat.....a beer and do some sight seeing baby ya!

Sadly this blog reads in reverse. To see the trip from the start you need to scroll to the bottom and work back up.

Arbatax-Sardinia

Well, we thought we were going to have tons of time at the airport after we dropped off the car.  Hmmmm...should have know better.
With weight restrictions and baggage restrictions...we were juggling stuff from one bag to another to balance out the weights so as not to pay an extra charge.
Waste of time!!  We ended up having to pay anyway and to top it all off ...the staff and crew at Ryanair are miserable!!!! What a terrible air travel experience.
However...we made it in the end and got our car in Cagliari.  The 2 1/2hr drive through the mountains, although very beautiful and scenic, was like being on the "Top Gun" rollercoaster at Wonderland. Up and down and hairpin turns along steep cliffs......saw mountain goats slipping backwards!!!! Oh...and toss in the storm with blackest rain clouds I ever seen...good drive.
But!!! The hotel is beautiful..on the ocean...two story suite, two full baths, complete with an outdoor jacuzzi on the terrace. Life is good!
