Going to Europe!

That's right, I am headed to Europe! Nothing more exhilirating than an unplanned, spontaneous side trip over the big pond (so they say). Cindy, my exhuberant, fiery co-worker, needed a travel partner. I couldn't say no, could I? We finalized most of the trip and as it stands now I am headed to France, Italy, Scotland, and England. That would be Paris, Venice, Florence, Siena, Pisa, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and London. Steff thinks it not wise to sing "London Bridge is Falling Down" while in London. She is such a party pooper.

Last night at dinner, Kim shared her Paris stories and educated me on where to go while there. Not sure I will remember most of them, but will certainly try. I think I am most excited about Florence. Not completly sure why, but many people get that funny look on their face when they say, "Oh, I loved Florence..." and their voice trails off. I wonder what memory they are reliving? Wonder if I will get to have that reaction some day:)

Look at what awaits!




I am hoping to find some places that look like this...

Venice

Siena

You WILL get that same funny look because there is just something about Florence that changes you in the nicest way, forever. It's sort of like your perfect first kiss. I'm SO jealous but SO happy for you! Get yourself an Italian -- and one for me too!
