One Day Left!

As I am leaving the United States in just one day (yikes!) I would like to ask one thing: any last minute advice? It's amazing how fast the last month has gone by. Well, not really that amazing when you factor in studio, working, moving, family time, and spending time with friends who are moving away :(. But alas, the time has come (the walrus said) and I am leaving whether I am ready or not (and yet I probably never could be ready). I am in a constant struggle between Oh my goodness! I am going to Rome! and Oh my goodness... I am going to Rome? I have spent today getting those most important accouterments like an eye mask. After all, I can't miss out on the effective afternoon siesta. Not to mention, I also finally bought my Eurail pass, which puts Europe at my fingertips with just one large expense. The idea of taking trips every weekend both thrills and overwhelms me, as it is unlike anything I have ever done, but I definitely look forward to the experience. As long as it doesn't involve stolen backpacks or missing trains. We'll have to see.

On an episode of Rick Steves he said to clip your backpack to the bed rail in the train so if a thief tries to grab it they'll give up. I know you'll have a ton of fun. I'm a little jealous.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

Good luck across the pond! We look forward to reading about you many adventures. Unlike Jen, I am more than a little jealous.
