Pre-Trip Thoughts~

Basically I am making this blog because I want to have a clear, crisp memory of my upcoming trip to Italy!  Today is Thursday, May 30, 2013 and I am leaving for Italy on Sunday!  As I am packing, I am realizing that I don't have many conservative casual clothes, which tourists apparently need to enter certain buildings for tours. I basically have "business woman" and "party girl" attire.  Hmmm.  I think maybe a hybrid of the two will have to suffice... "Partizness" attire if you will :)

Besides attire, I am nervous about a ton of other things.  One- I (the most forgetful unorganized person ever) am traveling a red-eye with layovers... ALONE.  I am no superhero, but that combination gets my spidey senses tingling... it has potential to be bad news bears.  In all honesty, I think it is high time I had a "big girl" trip.  I will prove to everyone (including myself) that I am a responsible adult!  At 26, I don't think it's too late.  I mean, some people who are older than I am have never even been remotely close to pretending to even pose as a responsible adult.  Anyway, the second thing I am nervous about is that everyone is going to be lame and go to sleep early all the time.  In that case, I don't really care.  I will ride solo.  I am pretty good at mingling... thanks cheerleading and promo!  This, however, is not always a good thing... Which leads me to my final fear: Me walking along and someone covering my head with a burlap sack and shoving me in their car, Taken-style.  Man I shouldn't have ever watched those movies...

So, I have learned some phrases..."I'm sorry, I don't speak Italian", "Excuse me", "How Much?".  I feel as though I should learn, "I have herpes" or "I have explosive diarrhea" as well.  To fend off creepers of course. 

So anyways, that's my pre-trip rundown!  I am super excited to be sharing this experience with whoever is reading this blog.  If you know me, you know this is about to get wayyyyy interesting.  Eccitato!
