Well I suppose it is time to brush off the dust from Cobblestone Chronicles...Departure date: January 1st 2011, 4:00 pm
Return date: April 4th 2011, 5:10 pm
Destination: Italy
From January 3rd until March 11th I will be doing school - I am taking three courses while I am away. Classics 355 - The Roman City; Classics 478 - The power of beauty; Int 125 - Conversational Italian.
From March 12th until April 4th I will be travelling with my wonderful Mother. The plan is to show her around Italy (my first love), check out a few new places together (including Greece), venture back to my second love - London, and then come home to our very lonely significant others.
This is going to be an adventure of a lifetime, and I am unbelievably excited! I am definitely nervous to travel for so long by myself, but I am also looking forward to the independence. The past few months, weeks and days have been spent getting details into place. The closer departure gets the more nervous I get! What if I forget something extremely important??? What if I simply forget to pack it? This is so new, yet somewhat familiar. I am glad I backpacked Europe with Colette in 2009, because I feel so much more confident in my preparations this time around.
