Hi Everybody!!!!
Thanks for checkin’ out my blog! Incase you were wondering, and I am sure you were, the name of my blog is Italian for a Hug and a Kiss. No great story behind it, I just thought it was cute!
So tomorrow is the day I head out!! For those of you who haven't known me for the last 10 years, I have been talking and dreaming of this trip for...well, 10 years! I can barely grasp the fact that it's here; I guess the realization will come to me tomorrow when I am actually boarding the plane!
Planning for this trip has been an experience in and of itself! The last three days have been an insane flurry of running around Austin trying to gather the rest of my papers, money, and travel sized shampoos! But it is all done, I am all packed, and I am ready to go!
One thing I have learned through all of this prep work is how excited complete strangers get when you tell them you are going to Europe. Everyone has advice! The money exchange lady told me to bring my own pillow and blanket on the plane (who knew they charge for those things now?). The guy at the Mac store suggested I permanently glue my computer to my right hand (It tends to "walk away" otherwise). And the Lady at the bank told my dad he should be very proud of me.... still not sure why though, hahaha! Either way it is really encouraging when you have a whole community wishing you well not to mention all of you, friends and familia. I wouldn't be as confident going out on this great adventure with out all of your prayers and good wishes! So thanks!!
I will be flying in to Rome on the first day, and the next few days I will be touring Rome and going to Orientations so I will try to write when I get to Florence and have the chance to breathe!
I am so excited I am so excited! Woo! I have a whole list of things I want to accomplish while I am over there but I think I will save that for the next post! So on that note, I'm out! But check back next week, same bat time, same bat channel!!!
Ciao People!
PS- Don't let the title of this post worry you! I WILL come back...maybe :)
