A Journey of 6695.8 Miles...

A journey of a thousand miles may start beneath your feet, but a journey of 6695.8  miles starts at the airport!



This is me at Chicago's O'Hare airport waiting in line to check in.  We brought our full allowance of 4 checked bags and two carry-ons.  Most of our luggage is filled with presents!

After a long overnight flight and an amazing view of sunrise over the Alps:



...we ended up here for 12 hours:



I won't go into the reason why I had to buy that Italia shirt except to say that a long flight, a cappuccino and a vanride on an Italian expressway during rush hour were not a good combination for me.

Since Ahmad hadn't been to Rome before, we somehow managed to pack in a full day of sightseeing during our short time in Rome.

Welcome to my travel blog!

This blog is meant to document my upcoming trip to Iran.  This trip has been nine years in the making, from the time I first met my (now) husband.  The documents finally came through, our tickets are bought and we are (almost) packed.  Thanks for joining me on my journey!
