Less than 12 hours until take off! Someone's heading off on a great Italian adventure and she's excited! The teeny suitcase is loaded up with books, art supplies, and a few pairs of underpants. I may have thrown in some lipstick, I can't remember. The camera is fully loaded with a fresh memory card.
I leave you with some final glimpses of the travel journal pages.
Here is where we're headed.
Arrivederci! See you on May 1st! Talk amongst yourselves!
Thinking of you eating pasta and smiling.

You are reading Wallace Stegner!?! What kind of RENAISSANCE WOMAN are you?!?
I can’t wait to see your journal. I also can’t wait to see your pictures. You take good pictures. I would say I can’t wait to see which underpants you took, but then people would assume things that are true, so I won’t.
(I hope you took the ones with the red-orange swirls and miniature TV’s on them.)
I’LL BE IN MAUI WHEN YOU GET BACK, so adjust your account to ‘unlimited free’.
TTFN, Pookie!
My wish for you is that this trip is all you hoped it would be – and more. Much more. We’ll be here waiting to share your travels when you return.
Have a splendid time!
Anne
Have a wonderful trip! I just found your blog through Stephanie Lee and am going to go back and enjoy while you are gone 😉 Bon Voyage – Gina
I haven’t been THERE, but I’ve been to Italy twice … you will possibly find yourself so transported that art becomes … impossible! My reaction was to be so overcome that all I could do was shoot pictures — even my written journal was silenced. I wish you an equally spectacular journey, dear woman!!!
Lucky lucky lucky…you have have a most fantastic and wonderful time! Can you fit me in your suitcase?
Have a wonderful time! This is a beautiful place, been there. I will return one day.
Safe journey!
Sister, Bon Voyage! Having been to Italy, there is one thing to remember…..COCONUT GELATO!
Be safe, and don’t drive to close to the edge!
Love, Brotha
can’t wait to read about your trip and see the pictures~
All my prayers and tailwinds and good wishes go with you. Do you have binoculars to check out the butts on the Italian policemen? Verrrrry important. Have a wonderful time. MMMMMwwwwwwahhhhh!!!!!!
