In less than 48 hours we will be on flight to ROME! I am still a bit in disbelief. This is going to be the trip of a lifetime and I am so flippin' excited that this experience will be shared with Reid, Megan, and Cole. I think Reid and Cole are most excited about the food. Megan is most excited about the gelato and gondola rides, and I can't seem to narrow it down to one thing - the wine, the food, the sites, the shopping, everything! I just know it will be an amazing experience. Below is our itinerary for the trip so you can keep up with where we are each day. We will be 7 hours ahead and will have our cells (at least Reid and I will) but won't be using them too much since it is a little pricey overseas. We'll do our best to log into the WiFi at the hotels and send pics when we can. Can't wait to share the experience with you after we get back! I guess we should start learning Italian...
