The countdown is on - less than one month to go




Julie, Laura, Nathalie and Rhonda are busy preparing for their trip to Italy and France. We've booked our accommodations, booked flights, reserved a car. Here's a picture of three of us taken by Rhonda as we ponder our choices on the Internet. So far, Rhonda's been the official photographer so we don't have any pictures of her. Next time, girl!

We've been shopping like crazy. I've (I'm Laura) bought four different suitcases so far! My travel companions have been taking me in hand to get me ready.Here's a picture of me reading the appropriate literature. Geez, I still haven't learned how to put the pictures where I want them to go. Taylor, where are you when I need you?

All we have left to do is decide what entrance tickets we want to pre-order on the Internet. This last picture is Nathalie avidly researching Paris where I, sadly, will not be going. I'm leaving my friends in the south of France and they'll spend a week in Paris without me.

We'll keep you posted as we go along. What's really cool is that Steffi from Germany, whom I met last year in South Africa, is going to come and stay with us in Rome for the weekend. I just love this world!
