In May 2009, Charles sent me an email asking if I wanted to go to Rome. He knew this was a dream of mine, so I replied, "Do NOT tease me!" He said that the school was taking a group during Spring Break 2011 and we could start paying immediately and that Mackenzie and I could go...and that is just what we did.
So on March 10th @ 5:10 p.m., Mackenzie boarded her first plane ever and we both headed over seas to Rome for 8 days. My sister, Kacy, decided she would like to go with us as well. Little did we know two years ago, that she would now be engaged before this trip.
Our OKC flight took us to Chicago. It was cold and we were hungry. When in Chicago, we decided to have a Chicago pizza before we both took a Tylenol PM and slept on our 9 hour trip overseas. It worked great!
Friday, March 11th, we arrived in Heathrow airport in London. It was huge and many shops displayed items for the upcoming 2012 Olympics. It was our first experience with no texting, no Wifi, no internet and information at your fingertips. This would definitely be something we would have to adjust to being without. We wondered the airport looking at shops and having a quick bite to eat. Long gone were hamburgers and french fries. No more Dr. Pepper for our DP addicts.
By 2:00ish, we were on our next two hour flight to Rome to meet...RAQUEL our tour guide.
