For me one of the most exciting parts about a trip (aside from actually being on the trip), is the planning. During the planning process I unleash my inner nerd. I read guidebooks, spend hours looking up sites on the internet, and make calendar schedules. It gets pretty bad, but I LOVE it. The unlimited possibilites of where we can go and what we can do & see. It's just soooo exciting.
I'm leaving for Italy next week! I'm meeting my friend Cassie there. We'll only be there two weeks, so we decided to stick to three cities: Venice, Florence, and Rome. She gave me free rein to plan out our trip, mainly because her work schedule is pretty crazy in the winter. Little did she know the neurotic beast she would unleash. So far I've made four different calendars. I'm actually working on the final one right now. The best part is filling in what we'll be up to each day. I'm not so delusional that I think we'll stick with the schedule, but at least it's there if we want it.
Next stop (according to my calendar) Italy!!!
