We'll be on a plane in less than 24 hours...

I had to leave work early today, I couldn't stand the anticipation... my heart was beating so fast, my hands were shaking. It was like an anxiety attack, but really an excitement attack. I don't know the words to describe the overwhelming excitement I feel for this journey. I feel like my eyes will opened for the first time, like a child. The possibility to see things completely new... completely new to me, but that stood before Christ did.

For now i will focus on the tasks on hand, packing, charging my ipod, double-checking my documents, and having dinner with Mollie. Just think the next time i've got something to send it will from an acient city, where Marco Polo traveled to and from for spices. No wonder Italy has the best food in the world! -s
