Sept 2-3, 2019
We spent Sept 2 in NYC waiting for our flight out at 6:49 pm. David and Avi got an Uber and went into Brooklyn and had lunch with Jim. I stayed back and worked as I was trying to close out the month. Took about five hours but so happy to get it done!!
Headed to the airport about 4:00 pm to find out our flight was delayed. Delays kept being announced as we waited. We finally boarded the airplane at 8:00 pm and then sat another hour waiting to get clearance for takeoff. Finally in the air but it was a long and grueling trip for some reason. Nothing felt comfortable. Neither Avi or David slept at all. I slept maybe an hour or so. We arrived in Rome and headed to the train station to catch our train to Naples with a transfer in downtown Rome. And of course, the train had issues and we ended up being delayed another hour. We were all three completely and totally exhausted when we arrived in Naples at about 4 pm. We got settled in our Air BnB and Avi and I both took a nap. David stayed awake fearing that if he went to sleep he'd never be able to get up. About 6 pm, we headed out and found some delicious Italian pizza. Naples is dirty and noisy and much of what we saw tonight is not very desirable. It really feels like a different planet. However, we were looking for some Gelato and were directed to an elevator. When we went down a few levels, we exited into a much nicer area of town. So strange. We will explore there more tomorrow. For now, a good night's sleep is in order.
