Arrivederci!

Arrivederci family, friends and the good old East Coast! This morning I am off to the airport- leaving at 9:30 am for a 5:30 pm flight. Yay airport security! I'm pretty nervous right now and though I'm no longer wondering why I do these things to myself (that was last night at around 1:30 am) I am thinking what have I gotten myself into now??? Lots of love to everyone who put up with my worrying. I promise to make it all worth it and have an amazing experience. I'll write as soon as I have great stories to tell and pictures to share....as well as reliable internet connection. So for now I"m not going to say goodbye. I'm going to say Arrivederci (until I see you again) and Ciao (because this is both a hello and a goodbye)!
