We'll be taking off in five days. A week from today we'll be standing in front of the Colosseum.
On Friday, July 11, we'll meet at 3 p.m. at the Starbucks in the Grand Rapids airport. Directions to the airport are below. You can choose to use the curb-side drop off, or pay to park in short-term parking ($2 for the first hour, $1 for each additional 30 minutes). Once we are all present, we'll say our good-byes and check in as a group. Be sure you have your passport, and please read the regulations for both Northwest and Lufthansa.
We will have layovers in Detroit (where you'll want to eat dinner) and Frankfurt (where you might want lunch). Lufthansa will provide an in-flight meal (probably breakfast). Plan on sleeping during the flight from Detroit to Frankfurt.
We'll get to our hotel in Rome in the evening on Saturday (EF will provide dinner), so there probably won't be much sight-seeing on the first day. This is nice because it gives us a chance to recover from the long flight and acclimate to the local time. On the last trip I led, we arrived in the afternoon and everyone was such a zombie all they wanted to do was go to the hotel anyway.
