We arrived in Sicily (Catania, Italy) the night of the 4th of April.  Hanna was to join us the same night, flying in from Spain, but, as happens, she had some travel issues.  She'd overlooked bringing her passport along to the departing airport and had to return to "home", reschedule the flight, and catch a new one in the morning. 

We had a bit of our own issues, arriving later than expected to the hotel.  On arrival at Sigonella Naval Air Station, we had to sort out getting a cab from there to the commercial airport 16 km away, where our rental car awaited.  The cab fare was 40 Euro, so we prowled around looking to share the fare with someone else and found a young couple going the same way.  We ended up taking them to their hotel after getting our rental car.  Finally we arrived at our hotel 90 minutes later than expected, but then had to sort out parking as the usual pay parking was closed by then.  The hotel dude wasn't all too happy as their desk is not 24 hours.  He'd tried to contact us earlier, but without email connection, and the phone card we bought the next day, he wasn't making contact.  Anyway, we smoothed it over with him and checked in.

Picture below is us having our first Italian pizza - it's a bit underwhelming since we promised Hanna we'd wait till she joined us before having a real first pizza.  So anyways, Hanna on her spring break from University in Granada Spain will travel with us for 6 days around Sicily.
