Finally, we're here

We are finally in Rome, but not an easy time.  First, the flight from Cleveland to Newark was cancelled.  They assigned another plane for two hours later which was delayed a half hour, but we still got to Newark about 20 minutes before departure to Rome.  The luggage even made it.

Then 8 hours in a plane...finally in the Rome airport.  The service that was to pick us up at the airport thought the flight was cancelled, so the driver left.  Luckily, the service had a booth at the airport and called the driver back (an hour late).  Now we were supposed to call the apartment manager, but had no phone that worked in Rome, so the guy at the booth called for me...no answer, he left a message.

We get to the apartment, no manager.  A very nice woman who owned a cookie shop right down the street, but spoke little English called for me...no answer.  We dragged our luggage down town and bought cell phones...wouldn't work for two hours.  We went back to the cookie lady, she called and got the manager.  About a half hour later we were in.  We left looking for wi-fi.  No luck.

 Today we looked all over, finally, at dinner at RJ Numbs Ristorante the manager hooked us up and here we are!

 We will try to post later.

Ciao.

Safely Arrived

Dad called me this morning to let me know that they've safely arrived in Italy. So far, they're unable to find an internet connection, so they'll be delinquent in posting their adventures until they've found something.
