It wasn't a long trip, but it sure felt pretty long!

The trip over felt like the longest 2 days in my life. I had basically 2 hours of sleep before getting up to leave Wednesday morning. The I got pretty much 0 sleep on the way there because we all know that plane sleep is worth about 1/5th of normal sleep. After planes, trains, and automobiles we finally got to the hotel and had a chance to relax for a couple hours before going out for a full night of drinking and fun. yeah ... long day, but well worth it!

Friday was a chance to rest before the tournament ... almost nothing went on.

Sunday we woke up and got moving on our way to Rome. Luckily we were able to hitch a ride with a teammate on the way back and so the trip back only took a few hours and was rather painless. Somehow this doesn't feel like the time for details, so lets keep it simple and say that in Rome I basically did a few laps of the city and hit a bunch of good spots that I knew. Then tuesday was the marathon back home. voila!
