Plane Ride and FINALLY made it to Torino!

Airplane blog
I checked in my bags with no hassle. I got through security fine. Now I'm on the plane waiting to take off. I am the first row after first class. The small tv screen is right above me. I'm going to end up getting a neck spasm. Luckily I am sitting next to two men, who seem nice but aren't the talkative kind. I don't even have a good table to put my laptop on. This is going to be a long 11 hour flight. Sadly I am no where near any of the other students flying on the plane. I'm going to have to try to walk around and talk to them. But  luckily I'll be one of the first ones off the plane when we land in Germany. We take off at 2:40pm. I miss you so much Mom, Dad & Monica already!! 

Well it's been 3 hours into my flight and it's going great! I probably have the BEST seat in the house. A small mini screen was inside the pocket of my seat. I can watch the tv right I front of me plus pick  whatever movie I want to watch. First pick: Footloose (Mom you've got to see it, you'd love it!) Dinner was gross but what do you except for airplane food? I ate the bread & brownie haha Also the man next to me ended up being very nice. He gave me his business card. So I can watch his movies online for free. He is a strange one...he is on this plane headed to India. Yup I said India. And oh yeah he is going there to LIVE for the rest of his life. Just packed his stuff up in a suitcase & he said he is going to live out on the streets until he finds what he wants to do. He told me to just stay in Italy for the next 10 years and for me to get off the merry go round that I'm on. Don't worry Mom & Dad, I will come back home!! Time for my next movie, Monte Carlo. 

The plane isn't full and luckily Lauren found me and had 2 open seats next to her. I am now sitting next to her. The stewardess is so nice. She brought us each brownies and a "black and white" bar. My butt is killing me though. I've been sitting for the past 6 hours. We still have 5 hours to go. I JUST WANT TO BE IN ITALY ALREADY!! I'm going to try and sleep for a couple of hours. They said they are serving breakfast in 3 hours! Crazy because it will be 11:00pm Cali time for me. 

They just served breakfast and it was terrible. There was a little bowl of fruit but had kiwi & pineapple which I don't like. So once again I just ate the bread roll with butter and jam. Right now we are 1:11 hours away from our destination. I'm watching another movie, Dolphin Tale, but I don't know if I'll be able to finish it. I just want to land already. I feel  like I've been on this plane for days! 

Woo hoo, we landed on time in Frankfurt. My butt is numb and my head is killing me but I'm here..finally! Now I've got a little wait until my flight to Torino. Luckily that plane ride is only 1 hour and 35 minutes. 

Flight to Torino:
The lay over wasn't bad in Frankfurt. It was actually pretty nice because everyone was meeting there from other flights. I'm on the plane now to Torino. I got myself a small glass of red wine. I know it's only 1:30pm but what the heck? I'm in Italy (or at least I will be in an hour)! I've met so many new people except I don't remember all of their names. Hopefully we have some type of name game or else I'll never learn them all. I'm sick of flying and just want to be in Italy already!

Hotel Roma:
We all finally made it to Torino. There was about 50 of us on the bus to the hotel. And there is 70 students total with the USAC group which means 20 were already here before us or coming later. Lauren & I are sharing a hotel room for the night. This is a really cute hotel (Mom, we should stay here when you come in May). At 6:30pm we are going out for our pizza dinner then we are free to do what we want. Everyone is so tired from traveling that we want to sleep but we also want to explore! I am not sure yet what I am going to do. I showered my body and re-did my make up. Now Lauren is showering. I don't feel like I'm officially in Torino yet. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. 

I found out my living situation! I am living in midtown with 4 girls. Yup, 4 girls which means there is 5 of us total. I'm not sure how this is all going to work out. Hannah & Jessica are in an apartment so I might ask to move in with them. But we'll see tomorrow how it goes. Can't believe it's already 5:45pm here in Torino. The day has flown by but I am glad I am done traveling!
