Friday evening we flew out from Washington-Dulles at about 7pm. Between the flight duration and time change we landed in London Heathrow at 6:30-7pm, but to our bodies, it was still 1am. We flew on a comfortable Boeing 747, watched movies and slept as best we could.
Everyone was in great spirits when we landed in London, dispite the lost night of sleep.
We flew from London to Rome and arrived to find that all of our baggage had also successfully arrived and our friends from Ariccia waiting for us outside. As far as international travel goes with a group of 22 - our trip went more smoothly than one could ask. We were certainly blessed with timely flights, quick lines, and a group of students and adults who were on the ball.
We threw all of our luggage and team members into vans and sped off to Ariccia. If you are following along on a map at home, Ariccia is aprox. 30 miles south of Rome. There are three towns in succession, Albano, Ariccia, and Genzano. Our hotel is in Genzano and the Church is in Ariccia. The two towns are a beautiful 20 minute walk apart.
Glad to hear you are all safe, arrived with luggage and sanity intact. We will be praying for you, loving you, and sending good mojos your way. Love to all. Please give our kids a hug from home!
