Longest sleep for a short day

After waking from 17 ish hours of sleep, Meghann and I walked to University Bocconi which is about 2 miles from our apartment. Once we got there, we just walked around and orientated ourselves with some of the buildings. Then found a bookstore (where I bought an italian cookbook .. in italian... 'Cucina bene e spendi poco' which is 'cooking well and spending little'. We'll see how this goes. :)

Then we found a little place for dinner and came back to the apartment. Short day! (up at 3pm and back at the apartment at 8pm) Tomorrow has a big list of getting things for the apartment, finding a bank, etc etc.

One Handed Countdown

Italia. It's actually becoming reality! I mean.. this is not just a distant dream or exciting possibility. This is real life and it's happening. We are going to Italy! It didn't quite start hitting me until about a week before our departure date (Wednesday).

I have done most of my packing. It helps that I've already packed up most of my belongings in storage in Dallas so I basically just include everything that I have here in Dallas and hope that it fits in my suitcase(s).

Starting Tuesday I'll be using only wifi and therefore no normal phone calls or texts will be answered. I will be using the 'Viber' app for text and calling (using my US phone number). I don't think all phones can download that app, so I'll also use Skype (user name: elizabethabauman) and GTalk (elizabethabauman@gmail.com) when needed.

Meghann and I will update our mailing address if you're interested in sending mail. We have also started an Italy blog that we will both be writing on and I'll copy / edit on this as well.

That's all for now. Of course, I'll update as often as I can!

3 days until departure - it's a one-handed countdown.
