T - 24 hours

We take off from Indy in 24 hours and about 29 minutes.

The whole trip still seems surreal to me.  I think maybe its because I've never been to Europe, so I can't picture myself there.  When I'm packing, I ask myself "Do I really need to take this to Italy?" and it still feels like a hypothetical question.  Like it doesn't really matter, because this trip can't actually be happening.  I'm not sure if that makes any sense or not, but I don't know how else to describe this feeling.  I'm incredibly excited about going, it just hasn't sunk in yet.  I have a feeling it won't until we land and I see the canals in Venice or something else quintessentially Italian.  My thoughts are going in a circle.  It sounds a little like this: "I'm going to Italy!  Wait, what?  Seriously?  How is that possible?"


Anyway, I'm going to try to post often.  As much for myself as for all of you.  That way, I can come back to this blog when the details of the trip start to fade and remind myself what happened and when.  But, I tried that when I went to General Assembly too, and I failed miserably.  I guess we will see how I do...

Make that 24 hours and 17 minutes.
