We are packed and ready for our ride to the airport!

 

 

We departed Columbus for our flight to Atlanta with a close to an on time departure.  Our beloved Buckeyes were playing Nebraska at home.  We watched a lot of the game sitting in the airport.  As we took off, “The Shoe” was in the distance.  Go Buckeyes!swCq0nFs

The hotel was located on the main street of Sorrento which was convenient for exploring the city.

Our room had a balcony which we enjoyed!
