Preparations...

I can't believe that it is almost time to leave... Only 12 days until I head to Chicago and hop on a plane that will take me across the mighty Atlantic. 

So these days I am packing... sorta.  and working on some basic Italian phrases to help me get myself safely from the airport through customs, to the trains to the hotel...

I am soooo excited to head out on this incredible adventure.  I will be posting here as often as I can to keep you all updated on my life in Macerata!!!!
