“Meet everyone at JKF and we will fly out from there.” Sounds simple- keyword-sounds. A lot of us got there at different hours of the day. Some missed flights to JFK and others were there all day to catch the flight out to Rome at 7:30PM. Hours later, we all make awkward eye contact and figure out we were all on the same trip-finally-people to hang out with. Everyone was planning on just sleeping on the plane, but the seats we passed in first class seemed a bit nicer than ours (the seats folded down into a bed-A BED!). Little kids were kicking on the back of seats but the personal TV’s made the trip a little nice, so for that, we thank you coat seating.
Nine hours in the air and only 45 mins of sleep later- we arrive in Rome. Finally realizing that we have made it was a feeling I could never explain. So-to parents, this is a specific thank you for allowing us to go on this amazing journey. Hopefully we will not disappoint you…see you in a bit for more stories and PICTURES!
