Well, the time has come and we leave for Italy tomorrow. After several months of planning, reading, ticket buying, menu searching, tour bookings and researching it's here. It is almost hard to believe. Its been a dream of mine for so many years to go to Italy and now I am getting that chance and sharing it with my husband and 13 year old son. I am so thankful and fortunate that we are able to go. I still cannot believe that I will see such things like the Sistine Chapel, The Amalfi Coast and the Duomo in Florence. Things that I have only seen on-line and in moves will become a reality.
I hope that I thought of everything and all goes well. I said to my husband that we need to relax and take things in stride and just enjoy the moment. If we get to Milan tomorrow and are close to making the train to Florence and miss it, there will be another one a hour later. I am a bit nervous about the train travel, I must admit.
A BIG thank you to everyone that has helped along the way and gave great advice and suggestions! Ciao!!!
