MADE IT!!!

Long day of traveling and will write a longer entry to describe it after we have made our first excursion today.  The short version is: everything was on time, all the luggage arrived as planned, Emily Starnes was there to pick us up in Rome and got us to Sorrento last night.  

We had a wonderful wonderful wonderful greeting at the hotel - Il Nido - and found that our room has the most beautiful view anyone could possibly ask for.  Then we ate our first Italian feast at the hotel and it was the perfect beginning.  Emily joined us for supper.  We had a full liter of house wine and a lemoncello to top it off.  

Reason for quick, short entry when there is so much more to tell is that in five minutes we are headed into Sorrento.  Dino, the hotel owner said the next shuttle wasn't for about 90 minutes, but there wasn't much happening and he'd get us a ride now.  Hospitality!  So we are headed on in and tonight I will tell you more about what's up.

Bottom line... marvelous!  Ciao!
