Bowdy’s study abroad trip

Welcome to my first blog post. This one will be very plain and boring compared to future blogs because it’s just about our travel day. We arrived at the ATL airport a couple of hours before our flight to make sure we had enough time to check in and get to our gate. While we were waiting, we all went to the sky club and had some pre-flight food and mimosas. Our plane got delayed for about an hour but other than that everything went smooth. The flight was a little under 9 hours. I slept for maybe 2-3 hours the whole flight. Once we landed in the Rome Fiumicino airport, we got all of our luggage (no lost bags surprisingly) and headed straight to our hotel to check in. Once checked in, we got a cab and went straight for the beach where we ate and hung out the rest of the day. We ended up going to bed early due to being tired from all the travel. Some things I’ve loved so far: random espresso shots throughout the day, and the Carbonara pasta was amazing. We are currently on buses traveling from Rome to Urbino (where we are living for the next 3 months) so I will update later!
