Hello from Atlanta!!!
At around 12:30 p.m., my family and I boarded our first flight from Tampa to Atlanta where we are now stationed for the next hour as we await our flight to Italy!
My sister and I started our travels by swiping licks from personal Nutella packets.
This stuff is like crack in a packet… not that I know what crack in a packet would taste like, but it is highly addictive.
We spent this flight reading all about Rome and going through a guidebook on Rome and the comments you guys left on my blog that I printed out to brainstorm possible itineraries during our trip.
Our next flight from Atlanta to Italy will hopefully be spent sleeping. We’ve come prepared with eye masks!
I think my mask looks like some kind of a face bra.
Though I made sure to snack on peanuts (four servings… my serving and my sister’s), I was still pretty hungry when we landed. Luckily the tummies of my family were also grumbling, and we headed toward a food court in the airport to pick up some grub.
I selected the large Greek salad from Nature’s Table with raspberry vinaigrette dressing.
This salad was full of feta cheese and black olives which made me very happy. It was so, so fresh and hit the spot! I was a happy camper.
Only 45 minutes until we’re flyin’ high to Europe!!!
See ya from overseas!

WOOHOO!! omg nutella is the BOMBBBB.com-!! so excited that youll be in Europe! one step closer to me!
My sister and I always snack on those nutella packets. Now I’m addicted. Sandwiches with peanut butter, nutella, and sliced strawberries make my heart melt.
Haha your face mask is a little funny looking. Hope you get some sleep on your next flight. Europe is a lot of fun but flying there get a little boring.
How exciting!! Have a safe trip 🙂 Nutella is allll over Italy, enjoy!
Oh man, I’m so excited for you to see Rome. I love, love, love that place!!! So many fun little alley ways to bump into (anywhere in Europe), amazing pizza and gellato, crazy driving/parking, smart cars everywhere, Trevi Fountain, ah. Such good memories from my trip to Europe! http://justcallmesassy.blogspot.com/search/label/European%20adventures

The Nature’s Table in MCO is always a place I stop. Their hummus is OUTRAGEOUS. Like better than high fatty Sabra brand. Heaven=hummus.
That looks like a great airport lunch option! I love your eye mask for the plane – very trendy! Have fun on the plane. I hope you get some good movies! 🙂
Have a blast! You’re going to have so much fun 🙂 be safe overseas!!
Welcome to my town of Atlanta! 🙂 Have a great flight – rest up girl, and a wonderful time on your trip!!!
Ryan and I are coming to Atlanta in June! Any restaurant recommendations or “must do” activities?
I just had a layover in Atlanta on Monday!
Yeah I saw that too. Matching hair pieces? I guess they want to look fancy for the airport 🙂
Haha I saw that too, but if you look closer I think it’s flower table settings (I hope, anyway)!
Ummm….am I the only one seeing the random pink feathers on the people eating in the airport??
Have a great trip!
Wow! They didn’t serve personal nutella flights on the plane from Atlanta to Recife!! hahahaha Hope you have a wonderful trip!
Haha we packed our own 🙂
I can see your mom leaning over smiling in the picture with you and your eye mask, very cute! You all look super excited!
Yay! Welcome to the A! Perfectly clear skys for flying! 🙂 Have a great flight!
Maybe you’ll have inflight internet! That’s always the best. Also, be prepared to dodge traffic in Rome…those scooters will RUN you over. And all the italian men will love your blonde hair lol enjoy!
I have been ADDICTED to Nutella lately! Love it!
Haha – “I think my mask looks like some kind of a face bra.” You are too funny.
Have a great / safe flight to Italy! Be sure to creep on all of the excellent plane food 🙂 And buy your family some wine or champagne mid-flight! I always love surprising my mom or sister with mid-flight drinks.
That eye mask looks comfy! Lol. Where did you get it?
My mom got them off eBay! 🙂
Have a great trip! You will love Europe!
Have a great trip, and a good start in the country that invented nutella 😉
Hi! I took that same trip May 15th of last year! You are going to have an amazing time. I wish I was still there. Atlanta airport is the busiest in the nation. It sucks! Be ready to for customs on the way back.
Have fun! Take lots, and lots, and lots of pictures.
I literally just tweeted about how I’m craving Nutella. This didn’t help, haha. Have a safe trip!
