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 make 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 very hard to rest right through. 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 cafe somewhere before I will head back to the airport. Luckily, my parents will be picking me up from the airport as they are heading for London to spend Saturday with us.
