Cruise Update part.1

So its probably apparent that we are alive and made it to the ship.

We got delayed at JFK for an extra 3 hours so we got drunk at the Sammy Hagar bar and met some cool people. The flight was long but not too bad. Once, we got to Rome we learned that people from Italy are terrible drivers (or maybe great drivers, we cant tell yet) and that Street lane lines and stop-signs are just a suggestion. lol.
But we made it safely to our hotel and we walked around the town and found a local pizzeria and ordered the national beer and a Margherita pizza and it was awesome!
The next morning we were picked up in a Mercedez (Oh, you fancy huh?) and were taken to our ship where we boarded and signed up for a spa for the next 20 days.... 299$ not bad for the 2 of us. We really enjoy the peppermint sauna and the steam chairs.
Today we docked in Livorno, Italy and we went wine tasting at a local farm. We learned alot about wine and the Tuscan countryside. After that we got on the bus and headed to a little town on a hill called Lari and it was very "bella". We climbed to the top of the old castle and looked over the entire valley, never have I seen anything so beautiful.
We can't wait to continue our magical vacation.

Moses Family: I miss you all and im having a great time already and we just started. i've been keeping a journal so that i wont forget too many things when i get back home. Love you all sooooooooooo much. check back next Tuesday

Hedrick/Caprara Family: Hey everyone! This place is F'n sweet! I don't think I could live here though, I would never get anything done but gazing out over the land. The Italians have a phrase for it that I cant remember but it means "the art of doing nothing". It really does sum up how I feel. I love you all and can't wait (Yes, I can. lol.) to show you all the pictures and tell you all the stories we are going to create.

Jake: Great job on the show. Thanks again. I'll have something written for before this next weeks show.

Love to all,
Rian and Elijah Hedrick
