To first explain today's title... It's a Lonely Island video from SNL that we've been singing ALL WEEK LONG. To check it out, click here. WARNING: It's pretty vulgar at some parts (although not the parts we were singing... gosh, we're not THAT trashy!).
So we woke up bright and early for breakfast and were on our way at 8:00 to head to Fiumicino Airport. We said our goodbyes to Fr. Frank when we got there and headed through security (which was the loosest I;ve ever seen). Heck, they didn't even really check our passports. A couple of them weren't even opened. Fr. Kyle, on the other hand, spent the whole day being questioned...
"Where are you going?"
"I'm sorry?"
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING??"
"I'M GOING TO BALTIMORE!!!"
At any rate, the trip was uneventful, albeit way too long. We were all ready to be home by the time we got to Heathrow. Too bad we had another 8 hours until we landed in Baltimore!! haha...
So this trip has been absolutely incredible. It was worth bleeding out most of my bank account, because this was seriously the trip of a lifetime. Even with the bumps along the way, everyone got along and had an excellent time. It was certainly a holy pilgrimage, since we visited so many famous religious sites. But besides that, we had a lot of fun and enjoyed the fraternity. Hey, all 9 of us are Knights of Columbus... fraternity is what we do!
Special shout-out to the Padres for making this trip awesome. To Fr. Kyle, for facilitating the planning (especially in the earlier, formative period of planning). To Fr. Frank, for being our leader and tour guide for the week, as well as arranging our lodging and showing us the true face of Pallottine hospitality.
And to all the guys, thank you for making this trip so much fun. It's hands-down the best vacation I've ever been on and I'm blessed to have shared this experience with you. Until next time, brothers, Ciao!
