27 Days to go (but who's counting?)

My sister has started us off on this blogging thing which should be a blast with the two of us jointly yet independently posting.  She described us very well - how different we are yet still able to connect in a deep way.  What she didn't go into is how these differences get us into strange situations.  I mean really strange.  It has gotten to the point where we just look at each other and ask ourselves "why does this always happen when we are together?"  Can't wait to see what Italy brings us. 

We (or I should say I) have been practicing Italian.  I have been listening to the Pimsleur tapes for about 3 years now so I am prepared.  If we need to find Via Valdi in Rome - I am the gal to do it!  The good news is that while I may not be able to speak it fluently - I improve with every glass of wine! 

We have the trip fairly well outlined and I for one am thrilled as we are going to places that I have not been before.  We will be heading farther south and into Sorrento taking day trips from there.  The weather should be beautiful (fa bello) during our stay and we will have quite a few days on the coast which will be fun.  Don't ask me which coast, but there definately is water! 

I am about to begin the packing process.  For those who know me - this should not seem out of the ordinary.  I am certain that Mollie will begin by say July22nd!  God help us!

I can't wait to take this particular journey with my sister.  We have both been through hell the past couple of years and have lived to tell about it.  I believe that this trip will be one that starts us both on the next paths of our lives......
