On our last day of the trip we woke up early, checked out of the hotel, and boarded the shuttle bus for the quick trip to the airport terminal. We went through about 4 different passport checkpoints, rode another shuttle bus, and eventually made it to the gate with plenty of time to make the flight. From Rome flew directly to New York and had great views of the Alps again. The flight was long but uneventful, other than a medical emergency and a hard landing. It took a while to get through customs, but we had plenty of time to make our connection to Seattle. When we checked in for the flights, we had picked a window and aisle seat hoping that nobody would take the middle seat and our ploy was successful. We had lots of room to stretch out and sleep on the last leg of our journey. We made it back to Seattle a little after 10:00 in the evening (7:00 am the next day in Rome!). We took a taxi home and collapsed into bed.
Looking back at the trip, we have tons of memories and even more pictures. It was a whirlwind trip that was a little more hectic than we would have liked, but overall we had a great time. I think our next vacation will involve sitting on a beach somewhere warm and not going anywhere for a full week!
