The girl says: First thoughts at the airport: Wow! Cute shoes! So far we made it to the hotel and it’s even tinier than we imagined. We can hardly walk around the bed without bumping into each other. We walked a few blocks and ate dinner with minimal complications. Now we sleep and try to power up for tomorrow. VERY excited.
