Arrividerci!

This is it! My bags are officially packed: 2 suitcases under 50 lbs, a roomy carry on, and a backpack. And so I begin my 48 hours of travel. I'll be flying from LAX to JFK on a red eye flight, and will arrive in JFK the morning of Sept. 6th to meet my Alitalia group flight in New York. After a brief layover in Rome, we'll be landing in Florence the morning of Tuesday Sept. 7th. I'm excited and anxious and nervous but mostly really really excited! Until Italy, ciao belli!
