So I've pretty much packed for my upcoming trip, figuring out how exactly to fit the roughly 500 pounds of books it seems like I need over there. Sartorially I'm going the route of sundresses, which makes packing infinitely easier.
It's hard trying to game five weeks of clothes, because this means I really pack for less and depend upon the deities of laundry and accessories to carry me through; I think I've got it down, but it has been a challenge.
In the meantime, I've been reading up on my Italian newspapers, particularly Corriere della Sera, and brushing up on the language. I have my passport back, after the Italian consulate decided to make us wait an interminable amount of time. I have a feeling this won't be the last time I get to deal with Italian bureaucracy, but as they say, con tempo tutto va bene.
Less than a week until I leave, and then the real adventure begins!
