I will be heading from Rome later today. Thinking about it a little bit last night, I realised that these short trips are no fun whatsoever. I will be rushing off later this afternoon so that I can catch a plane this evening, which will get me into Rome late tonight. Then I will not be able to sleep. The first night in any hotel, I find it very hard to rest through the night. Then, I will be up early Friday morning for the meeting, followed by, I hope, a little bit of time for some lunch in a café somewhere, before I head back to the airport. Luckily, my parents will be picking me up from the airport as they are heading to London to spend Saturday with us.
