Hello Friends! We're in Italy, safe and sound. Except for the jet lag, we're no worse for wear.
On the way out of Hampton Roads, I won the TSA pat down lottery at Norfolk International Airport. It's a very public and rather unnerving, nothing like the SNL skit. We were also subjected to a complete bag search of our carry-on stuff and a pat-down for Ron. Samantha's friend gave her a set of playdoh to entertain her during the trip. DO NOT take playdoh in your carry-on luggage. It fails initial TSA explosive screenings which triggers a no holds barred search of your stuff.
The flights themselves were uneventful. Flying overnight to Europe is the only way to go if you're traveling with children.
The house Ron picked out for us is even better in person. I feel like a poseur in this house. It's so trendy and modern and I'm neither. A trip to IKEA should resolve the conflict.
Samantha and I seem to be suffering from the time change the most. We have both been awake since about 2:30am (8:30pm EST). Everyone else is sleeping soundly.
Buonasera my friends. We miss you.
Hope sleep comes soon to you and Sam! Glad you are safe!
