Off To The Holy Land and Egypt

After a safe and relatively smooth flight,  Linda and I are in Rome, Italy.  We are staying in a hotel near the airport tonight and then we will meet up with the person from Princess ( a young man with very curly and very unruly blonde hair) tomorrow.  Then we will be off to the cruise ship, the Pacific Princess.  Almost as soon as we got here today (when we were in the hotel and had free wifi) we had an email from the main office of Princess: the two days in Egypt had been changed to the islands of Rhodes and Mykonos.  Not exactly where we wanted to go, but Princess just wants to keep us safe. We are disappointed, but better safe than sorry.  Now let's just hope they don't cancel the two days in the Holy Land.

We had a little adventure when we got into our room at the hotel.  We couldn't get the lights to come on. After trying everything we could think of before we had to call the main desk, Linda discovered what the little object on the wall beside the door was for----you put your key card in it and that cuts on the electricity in the room.  This way when you leave the room all lights will be off.  Clever little idea!

Well that's all for today.  I will tell you about the LONG hike from the arrival gate to the parking area for the hotel vans and about Linda talking to the wall at another time.
