anyways, that afternoon, we started the ultimate transportation marathon. we trained locally from Pompei to Naples, then nationally, back to Rome, then locally again, to the airport. then we flew to London...where we spent the night from 11 pm to 7:30 at the Yotel, there in Gatwick's airport. it was great. a little cramped, but we knew that's what we were getting. just nice to have a clean room, bed, shower, internet, etc. got some rest and the best part was in the morning, we just rode the elevator up one story and, wa-la, we were in the terminal. no transportation/shuttling necessary. i highly recommend staying at the airport whenever possible, for simple overnight stays...
well, that's it...we're in North Carolina right now, laying over and will be home-sweet-home tonight.
we had a BLAST and are so greatful for this time we had to explore Europe, so glad we were able to blog, i think it's been fun to do and hopefully our friends enjoyed it too...thanks for checking in!
