It only took 15 hours in the air but we are finally here! Met up with Kate in DC and only ran into one speed bump...I left my sweatshirt (the only one I brought) on the plane from LA to DC. After sprinting back to get it and working up a solid sweat, we were the last two to enter the plane and away we went. Flight was looooong but fine. Definitely helps having a travel partner! Thanks Kate : )
Got through customs without issue (and after paying $140/person to enter the country...) and found the car which we ordered without a problem. We are staying in Palermo which is about an hour from the airport. We got to the apartment a little early so we walked around and checked out the neighborhood a little. Seems like a cool area but not too many bars around...might be a problem.
The landlord showed up about twenty minutes late but we talked to the owners of the place for a while...sort of. They spoke Catalan, a version of Espanol I am not quite familiar with. The place is very neat. We have our own balcony and a "full" kitchen with stove, oven, fridge etc... but it is quite small. We slept a little on the plane but not enough so after checking out the neigborhhod a bit we took a nice nap.
About to hop in the shower and get movin for the night! Oh and for those interested...my Slingbox works internationally so I WILL be watching those Giants tonight!! Wooooo Timmy last night and lets goooo Matty tonight.
Adios from BA -- Ryan and Kate
