Road Trip Day 10: Home Again, Home Again, Jiggity Jig

This morning we met our fellow weary travelers on the top floor of the hotel where we ate yet another round of the traditional Italian breakfast -- cereal, bread, cornetti, fruit, yogurt and coffee. (I'm starting to have dreams of making egg, sausage, and pancake breakfasts once we're back in the States...followed by a trip to Starbucks, naturally!)

Once we'd consumed enough carbs and caffeine, we headed down to our room for a quick session of Open & Shut for Jackson at our bedroom window.Then we were packed up, buckled up, and zooming Southbound on the autostrada faster than you can say "Home again, home again, jiggity jig." We had the homestretch in our sights.

There's nothing like spending 10 days on the road to give you an appreciation for your "home" away from home. It felt good to get back to our apartment in Grottaglie and put our suitcases away for awhile.

We'll have to take them out again soon enough though...we're already planning a few more Blankenship adventures!
