Ciao, America!

Once again, I am off on a European adventure; this time to a country I've never visited: ITALY! I am so blessed and lucky to have this opportunity to travel with my former high school and my mom, who I am convinced is actually superwoman.

Just as I did before, I am going to do my best to keep a blog regularly while I am abroad. Feel free to check in with our adventures (as I describe them to the best of my ability). WiFi can be hard to come by abroad, and we're staying in lots of rural locations outside of major cities. So be aware that I may not get to post regularly. But I will do my best! I've scoped out our hotels/home stays/convent stay amenities, and I shouldn't have too many issues. Seeing as that I will be using the iPad for writing, there may be some typos thanks to the loveliness of Auto Correct. So, per favore, bear with me!

Just a rundown of our schedule today:

We will be departing the airport around 3:30pm U.S. time, and will arrive in Frankfurt, Germany at about 5:00 am tomorrow, Europe time. After a 3 hour layover, we will fly to Milan, Italy, where there will be a bus waiting with our guide for the trip. We will get on the bus for 4 hours from Milan to Venice, our first stop.  Hm. This should be interesting.

We'll all be meeting at the airport in a couple of hours to get all of the 42 girls situated with their luggage and checked in before we move through security. Pray that all goes smoothly and that we have a safe and uneventful trip.

I won't have a phone, but I will have my iTouch, on which there is an app for texting. I will post that number here as soon as I set it up.

Now, I'm going to go eat some pancakes and bacon. Can't wait to see what an Italian breakfast is like!
Ciao, America!
