The Wait

This is something we have to get use to for sure. My wait was different than Kyle's wait today. I was up at 7am, not rested at all from the lack of sleep the night before. I had everything ready to go and I just needed to be patient and that's the hardest thing in the world on days like these. I took my time getting ready and eating breakfast. I was planning on heading to the hotel I booked for us before I went to the airport. I wanted to be there before noon and needed to leave at 10am to get there. Well it was snowing outside, so my plan of lugging all my stuff through the subways failed. I called a cab instead which meant I didn't need to leave till 11am now. Another hour of wait time. I was so ready to go when the can driver showed up. It was my first time using Uber and I'm so glad I did. The driver was fantastic and was so excited for me when I told him my plans for that day.

I booked us a room at the Springhill Hotel and Suites and had called ahead to make sure I could come check in early because I had a plan. Since Kyle and I couldn't physically be with each other on Christmas, I was making Christmas for us! That's why I got the hotel and was there at noon, 4 hours before he landed. Everyone at the hotel was very helpful and excited for me!

I did not expect the room to look like it did though. I was in shock, in a good way. It really was a suite, it was huge! With 2 full bathrooms, a bedroom, living room and even mini stovetop and fridge. There was tons of room too. After I took it all in for a minute I got to work on decorating the room. I had a my mini Christmas tree and decorated it with lights and ornaments. I hung his stocking and put presents under the tree. I had prepared dinner too, baked potato soup with all the fixings. I had that in my new crockpot from Christine and a pitcher of sangria in the fridge. Now that I look back on it I can't believe I transported a full crockpot and full pitcher of sangria without spilling a drop! Skills. I finished decorating the room faster than I thought it would take and once again I had more time to sit and wait. So I took a video of the room all decorated. I even had time to paint my nails.

Once I couldn't last any longer I headed down to the front desk only to find that the 7 trains weren't running and that they wouldn't be for a long time. So again, I had to take a cab. They called one for me and I only wanted him to take me to the train stop because Kyle and I were going to have to take a cab back from the airport. Guess what shows up as my cab? A limo. All the time before Kyle flew out he joked about taking a limo home from the airport and here I was taking it a few blocks to the train station. I couldn't wait to tell Kyle, and soon I would be able to in person!!

I made it to the airport an hour before he landed. I didn't bring anything with me but my phone, credit card, room key and metro card. I didn't have much to entertain myself and it was torture trying to contain my excitement!! I kept checking kayak to see where his plane was.
Ugh where is he?! This is where I waited for him, forever...

Finally after over two hours, he walked through those doors that I had been staring at forever. I couldn't even hold still I wanted to just run up and grab him but I had to wait for him to come past the line into the waiting zone. But I couldn't wait any longer and when he was almost to me I giddly jumped into his arms! Finally!!
Finally, Together at last!

Bringing the Cooking Lessons Home

We left the hotel at the Neapolitan time of 10ish or 11ish and headed back to the town to find some breakfast. We parked in another paid parking lot so Kyle was happy. After breakfast we looked in a couple of shops after to see if we could find a ravioli cutter but still no luck. So weird. It was so nice out again, such good luck with the weather. We found another cute look out area that was apart of the "public gardens" we found in the guidebook at the hotel. It was just a little area with benches and the look out, not many flowers or garden like things.  When we were walking back to the car we saw this sign on a wood shop and I had to take a photo for dad. I thought it was so clever! Still on a mission for a ravioli cutter we headed towards Pozzuoli to try and go to their "Costco-Like" or "Walmart-Like" stores they have. One is called Leroy Merlin and the other is Auchan. The one we went to was apart of this huge mall. Kyle and I h...

Boston, MA + Sam Adams Brewery (by Kyle)

2 January 2013 Boston, MA and Newport, RI This is Kyle again, I have returned to write another blog about my trip to the East Coast.  Laura and I had an awesome time on New Years and New Years day.  We woke up early this morning in preparation for our trip to Boston and rushed to Kinkos so we could print our bus tickets.  We hauled our stuff quickly to Chinatown and hopped on the Fung-Wah bus.  Laura and I slept on and off throughout the ride and finally arrived in Boston 4 hours later.  We quickly departed the bus station and headed directly to the Sam Adam's brewery. On the way we saw Kady's street! We got there just in time for the tasting session of their final tour of the day!  The beer was so fresh and amazing!  We met up with some of Laura's friends who were also in Boston (the same ones we met up with on New Year's Eve-Day). Lily, Laura, Me, Alexian and Eric at Sam Adams! We headed over to the local pub called Doyles that ...

2 more days!

I feel so completely overwhelmed right now. At this moment in time I have pretty much seen everyone and said all my good byes. Its been a rough week knowing that when I do get back from Italy, I may not have time to see some of the people I've seen this week. But at the same time I can't even freaking wait to get on that plane and head out of the country! Pretty much tomorrow is my last day for me to do anything and EVERYTHING! I do have quite the list of things I need to double check and finish tomorrow before I take off on Tuesday, seeing how I won't have any time to do it that day. I went to get my nails done and had dinner with the girls tonight, minus Natalie :( poor girl. But Ash did show up for dinner so that was nice and it was a good send off after spending the rest of the night with my second family. They will be missed most definitely but it is good preparation for my move, which I don't even want to think about. Ugh this craziness needs to die down soon! ...
