This has to be the feeling you get on the day of your wedding. I've dreamed about this moment since I was a little girl, probably even more than my wedding day to be honest. So much anticipation, daydreaming, planning, and hard work has gone into this and now it is finally here!! I will be spending the next eight weeks living in Florence, Italy. Italia, I promise to love you forever. Till July 23rd do us part....
On a much less cheesy note, my luggage was 10lbs over the allotted 50lb weight limit forcing me to either pay a $100 over-the-weight-limit-fee or ditch a few non-essentials. After some very strategic rearranging, I ended up parting with a pair of jeans, one purse, and two pairs of boots. It is not the first sacrifice I've made for this experience and it surly won't be the last. But I'm not shaken- I have a strong feeling that Italy gives more then it takes.
Ah my beautiful friends I miss you already!! Thank you for the iced vanilla latte and blueberry muffin this morning, because of that combined with pure excitement I hardly slept on the 11 hour plane ride to France.
