I have a way to get to Rome and a place to live!

I now have my plane ticket booked to go to Rome. I leave from Jacksonville on September 9 and take a 9 hour trip from Atlanta to Rome. That isn't so bad considering that I have taken a 14 hour plane ride from Sydney, Australia to Los Angeles.



I also found an apartment to live in Rome. After posting an ad in a classified newspaper in Rome someone contacted me to sublease their apartment for a year. The apartment is in the Southeast region of Rome called Tuscolana. I'll be living adjacent to the Furio Camillo stop on Line A of the Metro (see above). I'll live halfway between the touristy area (the Colosseo stop on Metro Line B) and the school I'm working at (near the Anagnina stop on Line A). Pictures of my apartment are shown below:
