Note: Starts in  season 5.

Travelling around Europe with Grandma and Rory is an experience that I will never forget I would do it all over again. 

Grandma, Rory, and Emelia are being escorted into room 518 by a man that works at the hotel, "Hallo, and here we are Room 518. A beautiful room, very special for you Mrs Gilmore." The man said as we got a better view of the room.

"It's nice" Rory mentioned while looking around.

"It's hot?" Grandma said in reply.

"I like it Grandma, it has a European style and feel to it that the other hotels didn't have" Emelia said in reply to both.

The other hotel rooms they stayed at were beautiful as there were staying with The Emily Gilmore, but this room just felt magical.

Emily gave Emelia a look of interest as to why this one was more European. "Thank you for the compliant Ms Gilmore, I will adjust the air for you. No problem on my end. It's a spectacular view. Very Nice. A little balcony there." The man said in reply then pointing towards the balcony.

"It's different" mentioned Emily when fully inside the room and looking around for a bit.

"Something is different?" the man replies with confusion.

"The view it's different" Emily said when walking out onto the balcony.

Rory, Emelia, and the man follow Emily onto the balcony. "Wow. It's pretty spectacular" Rory exclaimed when looking at the view.

"It's not the same" Emily complained again.

"I don't think the view can change Grandma, and it is pretty spectacular" Emelia said looking out onto the view with excitement.

"It's the same room you had two years ago, signora, 518" the man said with confusion about Emily's complains.

"The ruins, they used to be closer. Something's move?" Emily explained her reason to the man.

"I don't think so." The man replied.

"That pillar" Emily points out towards the view "Is in a different place" she exclaimed.

"I think the ruins are probably where they've been for the past 2000 years, grandma" Rory reasoned.

Everyone looked to Rory as she said this but quickly turn towards Emelia when she put her opinion across "The ruins haven't moved grandma, and the place looks just like the phots you showed me before we left".

Rory and Emelia walked inside after this point was made "We can get you another room signora. No problem." The man said to make Emily happy.

"No, no, it's fine" Emily reasoned as she walked back inside with the man following behind.

Inside the hotel room Emelia was trying to hide her laughter about how her grandma was acting, when Emily saw this she gave Emelia a look and moved on.

"Smokers" Emily said suddenly.

"I despise smokers" the man replied quickly to Emily's remark.

"Rory, I told you before, you do not move luggage" Emily said when she saw Rory touching their bags.

"I told her grandma, but she didn't listen" Emelia replied from the coach looking at her nails.

"Yes, yes please. We will do that." The man replied quickly about Emily remark.

"Your high tea is still at the same time?" Emily questioned the man.

"Si, signora." the man answered.

"We've to book private tours. The Vatican, the villa Medici, and private just the three of us. The concierge in Florence stuck us with a Belgian couple at the Uffizi who didn't know a fresco from a ferret hole, and the ruins of course. Make sure the guides' not too dry. So different" Emily mentioned to the man as he was nodding along.

"Make sure to get a good tour guide for the ruins, that's what I'm looking forward to the most please." Emelia said to the man right after Emily turns to the man moving the luggage.

"The hanging bags should be hung not laid not the bed" Emily said to the luggage man while walking towards him into another room.

"Excuse me. How far away are we from the catacombs?" Rory asked the man.

"Close, but your grandmother would not like the catacombs, bones disturb her as well as the other Ms Gilmore" the man answered shaking his head.

"It's for me. My grandmother and sister usually take a nap this time of day, so I go off and do my own thing." Rory explains.

"Ah, yes, a nap" the man replied with a dreamish look on his face.

"I do not take a nap thank you very much, I just rest my eyes, I'm not an old person like grandma" Emelia quickly responded to both Rory and the man with her eyes closed on the sofa.

"We need two more pillows" Emily tells the man when she walks back into the main room.

"I will see to it. Anything else I can do?" the man asks Emily.

"That should do it. Thank you, Luciano" Emily tells the main gratefully.

"Yes, thank you very much" Rory adds at the same time Emelia sleepily says, "Thank you".

"Grazie mille. Bunoa note. Good evening, thank you" Luciano said in reply while walking out of the hotel room.

"Let's sit down and pick our restaurants." Emily said while walking to the sofa Emelia has fallen asleep upon.

Emily sits down next to a sleeping Emelia "There's three nights, that's three lunches and three dinners" Emily continues talking about restaurants while Rory is standing in front of where Emily was sitting.

"We'll take our usual passeggiata around the Piazza Novona, but let's pick the restaurants" Emily continues talking while looking through a menu of restaurants.

"Do you want to pick them before your nap or after?" Rory questioned.

"After nap Grandma, please after the nap" Emelia said sleepily.

"I'm skipping my nap today" Emily answered.

When Emily said this Emelia moaned in complaint.

"Oh, really?" Rory questioned is curiosity.

"Absolutely, I'm not the least bit tired" Emily said looking up when Rory moved to sit down next to Emily.

"Oh, good" Rory replied with fake enthusiasm.

"Couldn't hide it any better than that, huh?" Emily said towards Rory's fake enthusiasm.

"Hide what" Rory said looking uncomfortable.

"I don't take my nap; you don't get to go out on your own." Emily explained.

"Oh grandma, I wasn't think that." Rory replied.

"Yes, you were" Emelia agreed with her grandma.

"Well, I was kidding. I'm exhausted. I'm not sure I'll even make it to the bedroom I may just drop down here on the carpet." Emily explained.

"I'm not making it to the bedroom I'm staying right here" Emelia says while making herself more comfortable on the sofa.

"Thank you, grandma. It's all cultural stuff, I promise. Just kind of faster and funkier" Rory justified.

"Well, go enjoy your funk." Emily said to Rory.

"Thank you" Rory said while kissing Emily on the cheek and trying to kiss Emelia on the cheek as well, but Emelia waved her hand pushing Rory's face away.

"Mm, hmm" Emily said while this happened.

Rory then walked out of the room to go explore.
