Buon Giorno

Arrived in Roma safely after an uneventful flight. Prior to leaving however we were surprised by my Mother who met us at the airport to see us off. What a wonderful moment, and I only cried for 1 minute. Then of all people I was picked as a "special" candidate for excessive screening. Not often am I searched by another woman!
We were having trouble getting online so I missed blogging yesterday.
When we arrived in Rome we were picked up by our driver "Sylvia", that was right after Jesse said "whad up" to "snoop dog" who happened to be on our flight. How funny is that?
Our hotel is in the town center close to everything. It is easily accessible with quaint restaurants and cobblestone streets. It is perfect. The hotel staff are wonderful and upgraded us to a "master" just because. Now in order to get to our upgraded room we have to walk 3 blocks up the street to another building, where I assume several hotels have additional rooms. Now a "master" is not exactly what you would picture in the US but it is perfect. We ran around the city all night, had a magical dinner at a tiny restaurant down a very small side street,and then worked our way to the "Trevi Fountain." Jess and I managed to throw a few coins in and yes now we are assured we will come back one day!
Off to explore the city today...more later.
