After a short flight from Guadalajara to Mexico City, we boarded our flight to Rome yesterday. Our house sitters arrived on Tuesday from San Miguel, where they live full-time. From getting house sitters when they frequently travel, they became house sitters themselves. We know that Lola will be in good hands.
The Aeromexico flight was an easy ten hours. We enjoyed a sumptuous dinner and breakfast meal (only kidding), but upgrading our cabin to have a better meal for thousands of dollars (not enough points) to have a better meal doesn’t make sense. I have said to Jim that when we take our last long trip, it will include flying with either Business or First Class seats, just to experience the sensation!
We are tired, but not ready to take a long nap. We arrived at 4:00 PM Rome time (8:00 AM Guadalajara time) and are enjoying the hotel before we have a bite to eat and a nice sleep. We fly to Athens in the morning to pick up our “yacht” for a week in the islands. It is 80F and lovely. The Mediterranean Sea is just beyond the marina. We are delighted to be here.
We headed out for our first dinner in Italy upon returning and found just the right food for us. We shared a caprese salad (once again), and a calzone, both of which were delicious. Of course, I had an Aperol Sprintz to start this part of the adventure.
Dealing with time changes destroys your sleep patterns. Still, we managed to get some sleep, in preparation for our flight to Athens. It was a tight timeframe to get to the yacht between 2:00 and 3:00 PM, but we made it. Ah, we are ready to enjoy this part of the trip.
