.Bellissimo.

Plane tickets bought, 8 books borrowed from the library, Learn Italian app downloaded on the IPhone.

That's about how ready I am so far.  I can not wait to travel to Italy in June.  *ahhhh*

I am a little worried about myself.  This is a big trip.  I mean BIG.  I hate not knowing where I am going, or what I am doing, and the language barrier is making me crazy just thinking about it.  It is so overwhelming to plan a trip like this, especially for my TYPE A personality.  Getting the transportation and the number of days in each city, along with the hotel accommodations all in line will take some work.  But we are determined to do it all ourselves.  We have plenty of people who have been there before and are willing to help and give opinions.  I know that I will feel super accomplished with it all, especially as I make the Italy scrapbook when it's all over.

For now, I am just excited and overwhelmed. 

My notebook is overflowing with lists and I plan to spend the rest of the afternoon researching over my books with a hot chocolate in hand watching the snow fall... dreaming of Venice, and Rome, and Genoa, and Florence and our quick little stop in Pair-eeee!!!!
