Well, this is exciting. The eve of my first post on my new blog and I am in the hotel, getting ready to go to Italy tomorrow for a month. I am very excited about this trip. There will be many sights, lots of train trips to be sure, and almost guaranteed some good food and red wine.

The trip will take me through Minneapolis, to Amsterdam, to Rome and then a train ride to Frascati. I dare say, there is a distinct possibility of exhaustion on arrival!

A friend of mine has been kind enough to put up a spare room for the first several days in Rome. As of yet, I don’t have a schedule or an exact itinerary. This shall be a go-with-the-flow type of trip. I have been learning a little Italian, but it is sparse. Could be interesting getting around my pointing crudely at the map and mumbling something in Italian mixed with English.

I am sad though, to be leaving my family for the month. I will miss them terribly.
