DAY 2 — WE MADE IT TO ROME 🇮🇹✨
And honestly?
There’s something surreal about stepping off a plane in another country after spending hours somewhere between sleep, snacks, movies, and “what time is it even anymore?” 😅
But we officially made it to Rome.
And after months of planning this trip…
that first breath of Roman air just hits differently. 🤍
One thing we REALLY tried to focus on during the flight was making the overnight travel as comfortable as possible instead of just trying to “survive” it.
A few things that honestly helped us:
✈️ neck pillows
🎧 earbuds + Bluetooth transmitters for the plane TVs
💧 staying hydrated constantly
🚶♀️ getting up to walk whenever we were awake
🧦 comfortable layers for the plane
😴 trying to rest whenever possible instead of forcing ourselves to stay awake
Because international travel days are LONG…
and how you treat your body during the flight really does affect how you feel once you land.
After arriving, we kept today lighter.
We explored around our hotel area, soaked in the atmosphere, grabbed good food, and eased ourselves into Rome instead of trying to cram too much into the first day.
One thing we’ve learned from travel?
Not every day has to be packed full to be meaningful.
Sometimes the best memories come from simply wandering a new city together with no real agenda. ✨
And honestly?
Walking through Rome for the first time still doesn’t even feel real yet.
