Mom and I @ airport getting ready to board

We are in STL, Dad is on the phone somewhere, so Mom and I decided to take a quic pic! This is the start of our 'little' adventure to Italy! We are very excited. :)
Mom's having a minor freak out at the moment, she seem's to have forgotten her bag of meds. Like the ever so important Advil PM. Which I don't take so I'm nice and calm. :)
So talley of what we've already realized we forgot:
-advil pm & other meds
-water bottle/nalgene
-socks

Nothing too major!

I can't Believe its here!

Its tomorrow! Yay!
I am so excited! My flight leaves tomorrow morning, from KC I fly to STL to meet up with my parents. We fly from there (with a layover in Chicago) to ROME!
We will be in Rome thurs morning. Hopefully bright-eyed and bushy-tailed from a night of sleep on the plane. Thank you Dr. John for the ambien.
I'm almost done with my check list, a few more things and I'll feel good about leaving evrything else for almost 2 weeks. :)
I've decided to leave my phone. I will have access to my v-mail and email and will be checking both. I will be updating my blog as much as possible and posting some pics. :)
Alright, so my mission for the trip is this: to find the best gelato in each city we visit. That means I will be eatting a lot of ice cream! Yum! :)
Well, fairwell for now. You can expect my next blog when we arrive in Itlay!!

Just a week and a half away!

Ok... so its coming down to it. So much to do, so little time! Ahhh!
I bought these 'great' ECCO shoes for the trip, finally got them in, tried 'em on and they squeeze my feet in ALL the wrong places. I still cant find any cute comfortable flats for the evening. :( And I want to find the perfect skirt for travel, but thats turning out to be an impossible task.
So pretty much, I'm leaving in 1 1/2 weeks for 10 days and I have no shoes and 1 pair of pants and 1 pair of jeans! Im not going to freak out yet.
Help me if you can!
