Day 9
Well, we actually didn't get to do much on our last day in Italy. We woke up early to finish a little laundry before we left, but the dryer ended up taking 3 hours to dry our clothes so we were pretty much stuck in the hotel waiting for our laundry to finish. Obviously, this put a damper on the last day because we had some things planned to see before we flew out.
Once our laundry was finished and we got checked out of the hotel, we decided to make the most of the rest of our time so we headed to Rome to shop a bit before we left.....that didn't work out too well either. We wanted to find a belt for Mikey but we couldn't find what he wanted anywhere so we got back on the train and headed for the airport early (or so we thought).
On the train to the airport, thinking we were going to be about 2 hours early, I realized we were actually only going to get to the airport about an hour before departure because I misread the itinerary and flight time. Once we arrived at the airport we were sent to the wrong terminal SO we nearly killed ourselves dragging luggage through the huge airport, checking in and racing through customs and security to our gate. We managed to arrive at our gate 5 minutes before departure to find that NO ONE WAS THERE! Of course, by this time I'm almost panicking. Luckily 2 other people arrived at the same time (obviously as late as we were) and we all realized they had moved to another gate. So we finally found the right gate and got on the airplane barely in time for departure.......and then....we ended up sitting on the plane for almost an hour because there was a security issue with one of the bags on the plane! Unbelievable right?! Yea, great last day in Italy! LOL....BUT LUCKILY we made it to London safely and got checked into our hotel around 11pm.
Day 10
Luckily, today was a relaxing day, especially after the day we had yesterday! We woke up late, fixed breakfast and then was picked up by my uncle around noon. It was great to see him and quite an experience to drive through London and see the scenery on the way to Coventry. Coventry, where he lives, is in the countryside about 2 hours outside of London so it was a pretty drive! Once we got into the area we went to eat and then spent the rest of the day just talking and catching up. It was a good day and I'm so happy for the time we're getting with my uncle!!
