Greetings! So after months of planning and painful hours of strategizing, my suitcases are carefully packed and just barely fit under the weight limit. I am still in disbelief, not quite able to grasp the fact that I will be living in Florence, Italy for the next four months. I won't be able to mentally prepare for it, so I'm just trying to take everything as it comes.
I just received an email from the program I am studying through that warned us students about labor strikes in Italy on Tuesday, the day I am arriving. My flight into Florence might be delayed or canceled due to these strikes. Honestly, I'm not too worried about it. More than anything, it will most likely be a fun adventure to start off my abroad experience.
This trip will certainly be a rollercoaster and I truly wish I could bring all of my friends and family along. If only there was a way to fit everyone into my back pocket so we could all experience the wonders of Italy. Since this isn't quite possible, I hoped to keep everyone updated through this blog! I'd love to hear from everyone. If you have time, please email me at carolynentress@gmail.com.
I'm not quite sure if I'll be able to sleep, but looks like I'll have a busy two days of travel. Off to bed, goodnight!
So you went from labor strikes in WI all summer to labor strikes in Italy.
