I never thought I'd be a "blogger" but this seems like the best way to keep everyone up-to-date on my life in Spain, without flooding your inbox with unwanted mass emails. The clock is ticking and I've got about 36 hours until I leave for my year abroad, so I'm frantically trying to get all my last minute stuff done. Mom and Dad are dropping Melanie off in New Orleans for her freshmen year at Tulane right now. Since they flew down, Melanie has most of what she needs for the year in their combined six suitcases. Unfortunately for me, two of the six are the suitcases I'm bringing to Spain. So, in theory I'm packed, but what that really means is everything I'm bringing for the year is in a big pile on my floor waiting to be packed and looking menacingly close to the airline weight limit...
I fly out of Detroit tomorrow afternoon and land in Rome bright and early on Tuesday. From there I'm hopping on a train and heading down to southern Italy to meet up with my grandma and grandpa. We'll be staying with relatives who live in tiny hilltop villages, so it should be quite a change from Chicago and Toledo. After six days in Italy I'm off to my final destination. This is the event I've been looking forward to most since I was was in first or second grade, so needless to say, I can't wait to get there!!!!
