Ciao Italia!

I am almost packed. Packing up my 'office' has proven to be the most difficult. I wish I could go on a real vacation and not have to think about work as well. Hmmmm... maybe next time. I am only just starting to realize the downside to owning your own business.

I fly out tomorrow morning. Bilbo > Milan > Pisa and then must take a taxi from Pisa to Viareggio (since I will be hauling my bike with me as well).

I pick up the keys to my apartment at some Pizzeria, owned by the friend of the school's director. Very charming!

Classes begin Monday for me. It is an intensive course so I will be in class 5 hours each day.

I am excited. I am excited to spend more time in Italia. I am excited to have a little bit of personal time.
