It’s time to get this going folks. Departure is in three days. All that’s left is to finalize packing. I contacted our ground transportation this morning and made sure that they had our correct arrival time. They were great–wish I had been more assertive with using my Italian. Too much stage fright I guess. However, by this time next week, the studies will have begun (how about that for future perfect) and I can finally put my timidity and shyness to rest once and for all.
Stay tuned!
