Well, I skipped the month of January as far as the blog is concerned, but this is a "Euro-Blog", and I was in America... but now I'm back and I have discovered the secret to carefree air travel: It involves NOT sleeping for 24 to 48 hours before the flight, which more or less guarantees a restful sleep onboard. (It didn't hurt that I had 3 seats to myself the whole way) Now I have arrived back in Rome, where the temp is moderate with plenty O' rain. I hope to keep regular with the blog, but it is a responsibilty, and I don't want to write just for writing's sake, but hope to have something interesting to report! Feel free to send requests! Now I must sleep, and get on to the local time...stay tuned...
