Saturday, November 3rd and Sunday, November 4th
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!
We were sitting at our gate in Atlanta bound for Rome by 4:25 PM.

We are scheduled to depart Atlanta at 5:58 PM for our overnight flight and landing in Rome Sunday morning close to 9:00 AM their time.
We got our luggage and met Romina, our tour guide for our trip! We boarded our bus with Caesar as our driver and arrived at our hotel around 2:45 PM. We checked into our hotel, the Hotel Michelangelo, in Sorrento, Italy.

Our room had a balcony which we enjoyed!
We met Giovanni, the hotel’s bartender, in the hotel bar and had a local white wine. Of course there were quite a few of us there!


Before dinner the 29 of us traveling with the Hilliard Chamber met in the hotel’s meeting room with Romina to go over some housekeeping details and introduce ourselves!

Dinner was provided at the hotel. After our meal we took a walk into town.



We were in bed early this evening because it had been a very long two days with little sleep!
