This is a sensation that will become very familiar to us in the next few weeks. As this is also the Sicilian attitude towards driving and lines, it will most likely stay with us for the next few years!
We flew out of Nofolk Navy Base on Sunday, June 24th. Our flight stopped in Shannon, Ireland at 2 in the morning and Rota, Spain a few hours later. We met another Sigonella-bound family with 2 children (Hi, Bigby's!!), with whom we have become good friends. We also flew with an old friend of ours from New Jersey, Dan Grippo, who was headed further afield than us!
We deplaned in the early afternoon on Monday, in the midst of scirocco winds. It felt like being inside a hair dryer!
For some reason, perhaps the heat, jet lag seems to hit you like a ton of bricks here. We were wide awake most of Monday, couldn't sleep at all that night, and didn't quite wake up until noon. This lag didn't let up for weeks - a warning to any visitors!
