Day 69: Take Me "Home"
Sunday - July 25, 2010:
Sundays might be my favorite days of traveling because when you wake up you have that good feeling of knowing you'll be sleeping in your own bed tonight and not living out of a suitcase. That was my instinct thought when I woke up this morning! We all packed up and were downstairs waiting for the taxi at 10:20. The cab company we had called yesterday picked us up and took us to the airport. We had over-prepared and were at the check-in counter a little early. So we passed time by making a lunch stop at Subway in one of the terminals.
Prague only has one airport so this one was much nicer than some of the other ones we have flown out of this summer. It is also much more strict with their carry-on bag sizes. Luckily I packed like a champ this trip (I'll show you a picture of my bag later) so I didn't have any issues. The other girls got all their bag situations worked out too because we've gotten really good at this carry-on bag thing this summer!
We made it through security, stopped in a few duty free stores and then made it to our gate where we all waited for maybe 30 minutes until we boarded. Wiz Air is so much better about flying on time, so when they say boarding starts at 1:15, it starts at 1:15 -- I like this! We board the plane (after a mad dash to the airplane to try and claim decent seats) and are amazingly in the air on time. It might have been one of the scariest flights I've been on -- turbulance the whole way! When the wheels hit the ground, I have never been so thankful to be on land.
Enrico, our bus driver, was there waiting on us when we got through the terminal. All 19 of us loaded the bus and went back to Ariccia. The Chigi looks better and better every time we come back after vacation! I was so glad to be back!
We unpacked, got our lives back together and had a pretty relaxing night (minus the fireworks that went off at midnight--we thought we were being bombed!). I can't believe we only have two more weeks left in Italy... Craziness! This is crunch time when we take in every bit of Italy that we can :)

Crunch time...bring your true Harbarger cramming trait to the table this week and weekend. Try to forget the goings on back home and enjoy your last stretch in Italy, who knows when or if you'll be back.
