Well, my bags are finally packed (whew! that was way harder than I thought it was going to be) and I'm ready to call
it a night. Have to be up at 3:00 am in order to be ready for a 5:00 am pick up.
I'm so excited to return to Italy (where my heart belongs). I'll arrive Tuesday, November 13, 2007 and will probably
hit the ground running again.
I have two weeks of adventures and relaxation time to look forward to. It's going to be so AWESOME!
There were moments today while I was packing when I felt a little sad that mom and dad never got the chance to travel
to Europe and see all the beautiful things and meet all the great people that I have had the opportunity to see. But
somehow I feel like they are always with me! I know it's a bit corny to say that but I do mean it.
I am grateful for the opportunity to travel again to someplace familiar and some places that are new! My next post
will be on the road so do check out my LIVE from VENICE blog by clicking on the link at that top.
Thank you again to my family, friends, co-workers (who gave me a send off on Thursday) and the entire Slow
Travel Community (who provide the knowledge and inspiration for my trips). You guys are (to quote a famous Bette
Midler song) the "WIND BENEATH MY WINGS." He, he . .
Here I go again . . . . Ciao'
