two days and counting...

So as the trip approaches the realization of it all is beginning to sink in... I'm not sure if nervousness or excitement is winning out at the moment. Today I finally finished all my errands and shopping and can fully concentrate on tying up loose ends and PACKING!! this is my project for tomorrow... making all this fit in two bags under 50lbs each. Should be an exciting day!

so.... I leave Tuesday from my house at about 9:00 with my parents and fly out of Oakland where I'll be meeting up with my friend/roommate-to-be Sofia and flying to LA at 1:00pm. I'll get into Los Angeles and do the whole switching to the international terminal, meet up with the group flight, then jet off on my european adventure! Keep me in your thoughts and prayers and hope that I don't have an unexpected stop in Iceland like my last european adventure!!! thoughit did make an interesting story afterwards... hah!

I'll write again once I am in Firenze and find internet!!!

Ciao!!
