I only had five days for my Roman holiday. After a (very) long flight from Newark Liberty Airport via Alitalia
Airways, I landed at Leonardo da Vinci Airport (Fiumicino) outside of Rome.
I traveled by van to my hotel, the Domus Sessoriana. However, there was a problem with my room and I was transferred
for one night to another hotel near the Porta San Paolo.
The guidebooks all inform us we should stay up and look jet lag in the face. I on the other hand decided to lie
down and avoid the confrontation. I took a four-hour nap and then decided to tour the city. The only problem was
that the Italian unions had called a one-day general strike and all public transportation in the city was shut down.
So I just walked around the Porta San Paolo area.
