Would it be really cliche if I say "Ciao!"....well, there you have it, I made it to Italy and have been here for a week. I apologize that I have not blogged sooner, but I have just been jetlagged, overwhelmed and adjusting to my new surroundings. So here is
my attempt to catch up so that you can get a glimpse into what I have experienced so far...
So my flight from LA to London was 10 hours...not so bad because it was a night flight and I sort of slept the whole time...and not so good because I sat in the middle seat. I met a very nice woman though -- Joanne from Santa Monica who shared her stories of African travels with me. I arrived in London at the Heathrow Airport and was less than delighted about a 4 hour layover. Heathrow is like a mall, so I did a bit of browsing and then to my surprise I discovered a spa in the airport! After being cramped up and carrying a heavy bag, a massage seemed like a necessity. The spa, Urban Retreat, was small, but cozy. As soon as I walked in, the noise and hustle and bustle from the airport atmosphere disappeared. I took a small tour (they use Murad and Jurlique!) and got a 30 minute massage by Trixy the massage therapist. I met Trixy (pictured on the right), Rene and Sam (left)-- all very sweet and very happy to get Jaqua samples:)! I had one more flight now...a 2 hour flight from London to Rome and then the real travel challenges start!
