We arrived last night and have been slowly getting acclimated to the time difference and our new temporary housing. So far, so good! The flight over was a fairly hellish experience...... from a midnight flight with a 5am stopover in Lajes, Portugal (we had to get off for 2 hours- all crammed into a tiny terminal that did not have enough seats for all of us), to a 3 year old who decided to sleep about 1 hour total, leaky diapers that necessitated 3 clothing changes in the first 4 hours of travel, to a flight crew who demanded that the airplane interior lights be on full-tilt when they were serving food no matter what time it was. It wasn't fun, but we survived!
Internet is spotty right now but we will try to update as we can with more info! Ciao!

Buon Viaggio!
One last picture from our wonderful summer in south Florida.....
Well, the day is finally upon us- we leave for Italy in less than 24 hours! We are excited, nervous, overwhelmed, anxious...just about every emotion a person can have. We know we are in for a wonderful adventure for the next 2 years. We will miss the comforts of home, for sure, but hopefully it won't be too hard to adjust to life as Neopolitans. I'm not sure when I will get to update this blog next, as we don't know what our internet situation will be there while we wait to get into housing.
Keep checking back for our next update and think of us as we embark on a 24-hour transcontinental plane ride with 2 toddlers!

Happy Birthday America!
This past weekend I got to visit Dan while the kids stayed behind in Florida. We had a great time in Newport and Boston for the 4th of July! Newport was beautiful and the mansions are amazing....and Boston has so much wonderful history. The weather was perfect and it was a wonderful getaway!
