The Plane Ride (of death)

Our flight took off at Noon on Monday May 7th and we arrived in Rome on Tuesday May 8th at 9am. Dad 7 Trey dropped me off at the airport! Sad to say goodbye but I was excited to travel as well! We flew out of DSM to Chicago and the directly to Rome, which was an 8 hour flight. I have never been on a flight longer than 3.5 hours. I don't think I could ever go longer than 8. It honestly was terrible. AND I didn't fall asleep once, which if you know me, is not normal.

We got served dinner and breakfast on the flight which was my first time ever receiving a meal on a plane. I thought they were both really good. The coffee though, not so much.

Note to self: buy some good drugs that will knock me out for a few hours while being on the plane... :)

We landed safe and sound with no problems!

A bus service picked us up and took us to our apartment locations. There was a complication with Iowa State's apartments so we had to get split up to 5 different locations, all about a mile from another. But that's okay.

When I got to my apartment with my 3 other roommates, we walked the streets for about 30 minutes, realized we were exhausted, and came home to take a 4 hour nap.
