Rob... hi.  What’s up?   Why is he calling?  I thought we were meeting up in a few days... 

Oh I'm glad.  No, that sounds fine.  You'll be about an hour late in Rome then?  OK.  ...   ...  Wow, that's neat, he sounds cool and his grandmother's food was probably great but look, we're in the middle of getting ready to go out to a club, ok?  ... Yeah, I'm fine.  I'll see you soon.  Bye bye.  

Gosh, I'd like to talk, but I can't stand here in the middle of a youth hostel reception area and tell him that!  I mean, I'd love to chat, but really, this isn't the time or the place.  That's the only phone line in this whole place! 

Grazie to the owner of the hostel for finding me to get the phone.  I can't believe Rob called this place; well, it's almost home sweet home!  Sure, it's one of those dormitory style youth hostels, but it's better than sleeping on a train, and there are showers. 

As I return to finish getting ready, it looks like Sabrina isn't overly pleased with the place.   She'll live.  ... What'd you say? 

Oh, it was Rob. ... I gave him a rough schedule of where we'd be each night just so he knew...  I couldn't talk for very long, it was the hostel phone, but also, I don't know, he was just calling to say something about when we were meeting.  ... No, I couldn't have spoken longer.  

Well, will you be ready to head out soon?  Can't miss that disco! ... We'll do the museum tomorrow morning or something.  But hit the town tonight!  

Oh no, what does Sabrina want to "talk to me" about?
