Imma comin' home!!!

I did it! I bought my ticket... I paid a little more than I had thought I would originally, but that's ok... I got it. It's not exactly the flight I had hoped for, but hey, it'll get me where I need to go! It was hassle to find, because I really wanted to leave from Venice, but there no flights within my price range leaving from there or Milan... SOOOO, I have to leave from Rome, which sucks because that means I have to take a night train to Rome in order to make it to my morning flight, and it also means that I might be cranky from sleep depravation when I finally get into LAX, but whatever! I leave Rome at 11:15am and arrive at LAX at 7:13 pm, after an hour and a half layover in Washington D.C. Sandra, this means you don't have to pick me up during rush hour traffic after all!!! However, I still do want to get something on the way home, because I doubt the airline is going to serve us dinner, so I will be famished!

Then on the way back the flights suuuuuck! I have 2 layovers instead of just one.... I leave from LAX at 7:55am (sorry in advance to whoever is going to drop me off) and arrive at D.C. at 3:45pm, then I leave D.C. at 6pm and arrive in Vienna at 8:30am, and leave Vienna at 9:30 am ad arrive in Venice at 10:55am, and then it's a relatively short train ride home! Fortunately I won't have to deal with that flight until the end of August!

So, yes friends, I will be home for about 5 months more or less! I can't wait... I miss you all so much!

I am not really bringing a lot of stuff home with me... mainly because I need some new clothes, so I am only bringing some necessary things with me and will get the rest out there over the course of the 5 months, and I am only bringing one bag with me with the 2nd bag inside it, so that way I have one getting out there and 2 coming back. All this means that if there is anything you guys need me to bring you from Italy... let me know, since I should have the space for it! There are some stuff I am already planning on bringing home and I get a feeling I already know what Regina is going to want me to bring her.... and then I am bringing home some chocolate that you can't find in the U.S., but if there is anything you guys want let me know... as long as it doesn't cost tooo much! See you all in a little over a month!
