Ok, its getting really close to me going away on a vacation. This one will be real one - a full 3.5 weeks of f@#king around in Italy. Literally and figuratively.
So this is the first time I am going Europe. And first time in a country that has a language I dont speak. So it will be interesting. We chose Italy because both myself and J love food and wine and culture. And there is a lot of it there! Plus, it is such a romantic country! I am really looking forward to it all! Some of things in no particular order are:
The food - all the cheese, bread and pastas and everything in between
The Wine - and lots of it!
Some coffee - I dont drink coffee but I will try it there!
I love that we have nothing booked - so we can spend as much time anywhere we like. I love that if we think we need to spend 2 weeks in Rome we can!
The gondola ride in the grand canal
Being in Florence - reminding me of one of my fav movies 'Room with a view'
Seeing Pompeii
Seeing Italy pass us by as we sip wine
Probably a drive around Tuscany
Being able to see all of this with J
Not having to show up to work
Not having to think about work and in-laws and the politics of it all
Maybe getting pregnant in Italy. I have to say I am really looking forward to that more than anything else. There is nothing in the world that would make me happier. I also think it would be fun to name that child something completely Italian and screw him/her for life a la the namesake! Ok, obviously I am joking.
I am not writing this post to make you jealous or anything just that both J and myself have worked so hard for so long. We really deserve this and I think it will be fun. We will be broke by the time we get back but WTF! You only live once.
Yippieeeee! Besides work is so stressful right now that I would do anything to not be here right now.
Ok I am out for today!

i've only been to italy once, that was a weekend in Milan for a hens weekend.
The food was beautiful and such good prices.
My two favourite things?
Pino Grigio wine. We drank it all weekend. I love it!
And YES the coffee is SUPERB!!!!!
And YES AGAIN you've made me jealous. (Okay, i dont wanna get preggers though!)
I haven't had an opportunity to travel, so I will admit to jealousy. But I am so happy for you and J and can't wait to hear all about this trip to Italy. Will you be posting while traveling or saving it up until you return?
vi - pino grigio is my fav white wine!
laura - I am going to try to post but two problems - I dont know any italian so I have a feeling it will be difficult and J has no idea I have a blog so it will be difficult to hide it from him...
Wow - you will have such an amazing time! I can't wait to hear about it and take loads of pictures!!!
