Well, I am now in Rome, but things didn't work out exactly as planned.
For reasons that I won't discuss (and no, nothing to do with me), I ended up taking the bus from Tralee to Cork, and then flying to Rome. All of this went quite smoothly. However, for the same reasons that I took the bus, I wasn't able to do my homework last night. I guess that is a lesson in waiting for the last minute to do things, but oh well.
The point is once I arrived in Rome I had absolutely no idea what to do. As it was, I didn't arrive until 7:30 so it was already dark and of course I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. Anyway, I dropped a LOT of money for a nice hotel close to the airport and am now sitting in their bar, drinking grossly overpriced Heineken. However, the main thing I needed to do was sit down, hop online, and work out a plan; which I have now done.
Tomorrow, I'll go get a much more reasonably priced place in the City Centre. I'm thinking I'll only spend a few days in Rome - which is absolutely full of Americans - and then start working my way south. This is my first major foray on my own, in a place that doesn't speak English, and so on. I found fun club things to do here in Rome, but I'm not totally sure I even want to do that; we'll see.
[After four beers on a fairly empty stomach - I'm used to Diatou feeding me big meals, and today I've eaten nothing more than a Panini - I'm think I'm about set.]
