my turn!

ok, so this time tomorrow i will be somewhere over the ocean in a very antsy way. i fly out of KCI at 9:53am tomorrow and end up in venice roughly 9:30 local time (2:30am) there. it is finally here! i am mostly ready to go - clothes are packed. i have not been as methodical and overly-0rganized about this adventure as i usually am if someone else is traveling with me. consequently, i am slightly anxious and plan to spend my evening furiously going up and down the stairs moving things around and making lists and cleaning. i checked the weather today for Pordenone, Italy -the town closest to Cameron's house. should be high 80's/low 90's the whole time.
anticipated highlights:
the beach - not even sure which beach, or where; but i think it will be the stretch of land on the north east coast of italy close to where it connects with the rest of europe. even if my beach experience totally sucks, just saying that will be totally cool anyway. besides, it can't suck! dad told me people there like to wear their birthday suits to the beach, so no matter how self conscious i feel in my tankini, i'm fairly certain i'll be looking juuust fine.
camping in Austria next weekend - sing with me: "the hills are alive with the sound of music!". yes elizabeth, i have already been practicing "the pose". unfortunately, i do not own a pinafore and so the picture will probably be taken in jeans and a tank top. we will camp at "faaker see". dad has been there, it is a glassy lake in a valley surrounded my mountains. yes please.
arnoldstein - the hometown of arnold schwartzenager. need i say more?
pasta - hello?
gelato - shya!

ok, i promise to have well over $1700 worth of fun - that way at least i am reimbursed for the plane ticket. HORAY!!!
