The Experience

I woke up in Rome with that half-nervous feeling you get on travel days—bags zipped, passport checked three times, and still convinced I’d forget something. Our driver, Marco, was already waiting outside the hotel lobby (he waved before I even stepped out). He greeted us in English but slipped into Italian for a joke with the doorman—something about the weather and football, I think. It was early but not too quiet; scooters zipped by and you could smell coffee drifting from the bar across the street.

We piled our bags into the car—a black sedan that actually felt clean (not always a given in big cities). Marco handed us bottles of water and pointed out how to connect to the WiFi. I know it’s just an airport transfer from Rome center to Fiumicino airport, but it felt less rushed than usual. He asked what time our flight was (“don’t worry, we’ll be there in plenty of time”) and gave us a few tips about departures at FCO. There’s something oddly comforting about hearing someone local talk through traffic shortcuts—it makes you feel like you’re in good hands.

The drive itself was sort of peaceful—morning light slanting through old stone buildings as we left the city walls behind. At one point Marco slowed down so we could catch a last glimpse of St. Peter’s dome (“that’s your goodbye from Rome,” he said). I didn’t expect to feel anything during an airport run, but there it was—a little pang as the city faded out behind us. We reached Fiumicino right on schedule; Marco helped with our luggage and even waited until we’d found our check-in desk before heading off. Not sure why that small gesture stuck with me, but it did.
