Italy

On January 13th, Jason and I left for Italy. Our flight itinerary was from Kaunas to Glasgow, Scotland and then to Milan, Italy. Well, the first flight to Glasgow was a few minutes late so we missed our check-in to Milan by 5 minutes! They wouldn't let us check-in, even though our flight wasn't scheduled to leave for another 35 minutes. So we had to change to the same flight for the following day. The Mormances had a couple hours there before their next flight so the 4 of us walked into Prestwick. It was a cute little Scottish town with a Subway! We had Subway for lunch and dinner!
Around 9pm the Mormances left and Jason and I still had about 15 hrs before our flight. I was naive in my presumption that sleeping in an airport would be a fun adventure. It was exciting for the first 2 hours then it progressively got more and more arduous. There was a Prayer Room in the airport and I thought, "what better place to sleep then in the presence of the Lord?" So the first hour or so were spent sleeping in the prayer room until security came and kicked us out. Then we headed for the "common sleeping area" also known as Arrivals; the only place that had benches to sleep on. There was not much room, but we found some spots to lay our head. About 2 hours later a man came and started yelling that everyone had to move because he had to clean the floor. So we meandered around and finally sat down by the Starbucks Kiosk. After a while I went over to an entrance hall and pulled up some carpet. After about an hour or so a lady came by and started vacuuming. I started sensing a theme. We headed back to the "common sleeping area" to find that all benches were taken, except for the oh so comfy hard chairs. Lets just say I never really went back to sleep after we got kicked out of the Presence of the Lord. I just counted down the minutes until 5am when Starbucks opened. Starbucks was the only redeeming factor in the whole fiasco.
We finally headed to Milan after our flight was delayed an hour. Ha! Perfect way to end our time in Scotland! :)
Milan was beautiful! I really enjoyed the classy and clean city. Our first night in Italy we had Thai food! It was so good.
The next night we hopped on a flight to Rome. We spent 2 full days in Rome. We saw the Colosseum and Forum, The Pantheon, The Spanish Steps, and The Vatican. It was a great time! Italians are warm and friendly people that make some freaking fantastic pasta and cappuccino!
We headed home after an 8 hour layover in Frankfurt. I'm done with airports. HA HA!
