Sicily Day One

We made it...finally! Months of anticipation and a few days of worry with the winter storms in the NE, but when all is said and done, we're here! Craig was able to make it to and from Columbus to drop Charlie off earlier in the day, and then the three of us caught a 2/3 full flight (because so many people didn't make their connections to Philly on-time) to Rome--it was nice to be able to stretch out and sleep on the way. We had a short layover in Rome, hopped on a flight to Catania, Sicily and then took a taxi the remaining 65km to our hotel in Taormina. Exhausted, we slept/read/relaxed for the afternoon, ate dinner at the hotel, and retired early in the evening. These are a few pictures from the hotel room--it's a great view looking out in the Ionan sea (at least that's what we think we're looking at!)
