“A Wise Man Travels To Discover Himself“

-James Russell Lowell

So I have about 3 hours before I leave for the airport. This is insane.

This is my first ever adventure going to Italy, or anywhere outside of the U.S. or Canada. I can only hope that this will be the very first of all my adventures to come.

Things I must do while there:

Climb Florence’s Duomo
Visit the Trastevere Neighborhood in Rome 
Eat an unnecessary amount of Gelato
Ride in a gondola/vaporetto in Venice (gondola might be too expensive)
Get lost in Venice

I better be able to sleep on the plane, because I definitely couldn’t sleep last night. Too much excitement.
