Just spoke from Libby- just got back to the hotel about 30 minutes ago---LONG DAY
the hotel is not very good, Mrs. Flurry says it is the worse she has stayed in - clean but the beds are hard, small and just isn't the nicest.
The tour today was great, rained some so it cooled it down a little. Went to the Colesium, Vatican City and somewhere else I forget. They got to go on the Rome by night tour and they said it was beautiful.
They discovered the Italian Drinking age has changed- so no more wine for the kids..... : (
Florence tomorrow.

Anne's phone call to Ryan
Annie called around 2:00 today from Rome (where it was 9:00pm) and let me know everyone had made it safely and all luggage had also made it. They were checked into the hotel and having a late dinner. It sounded like everyone had a good day.
Have a great weekend,
Ryan Flurry

From Becca's mom
Got a phone call from Rebecca at 3:12 PM KC time/10:12 PM Rome time.
Everyone's luggage made it!!
The flight from Munich to Rome was delayed an hour since it was over booked.
For the 2nd and 3rd legs of the flights there was a Colorado group that was just their to party and a bit annoying. These folks are NOT on the tour with our group, just those flights.
In our tour group are some travelers from Montana, and 2 groups from possibly Mississippi.
The Tour Director is a woman from Spain who lives in Athens. She seems very organized, good with details, and is prompt at achieving their deadlines. So thumbs up, they liked her.
Dinner at the Hotel was pasta with either turkey or pork along with a glass of red wine for everyone.
Tomorrow will be their excursions to see Rome.
If everyone in the entire tour opts for a 15 Euro extra excursion (they don't know if everyone had agreed from the other groups), then tomorrow night they will tour Rome again at night after dinner.
Her phone call and texts came though beautifully.

Message from Deb- Becca's mom
Rebecca texted that they have movie screens on the backs of the seats in front of them. She said she was going to watch "Up in the Air". I assume she is talking about the George Clooney film. We saw it at the theatre. It was good.
She said the plane seats were not much more luxurious than regular ones and the plane had two aisles. (Her first this scale.)
