We're jumping off...
...for a couple of weeks in Italy. I'm excited. We'll be seeing Rome for the first time, and for a history fan it doesn't get much better. I suspect the experience will be like trying to get a sip of water from a firehose: all that information, so little time. I'll keep as current with daily photos as internet access (and brainpower) will allow.
Preparation all day: cleaning camera lenses, freeing up drive space on the MacBook, charging batteries - oh, and packing a few clothes. Also, counting "pain & brain pills" into cool little plastic thingies so I don't have to take big pill bottles along. This will be the longest vacation that our cats have experienced. Hope they recognize me when I get back.
I'd better double check my packing. Something will occur to me that I've missed while I'm mid-Atlantic. Wish that my memory was that good while at home! And yes, Dr. Jenn, I'm taking sunblock and a hat - no more tanlines for this redhead.
