Prep, Pack, Plan, Potter

You've all been there... the last days before you leave town for two weeks are K-Razieee. I've reached a state of pure overload. Personal life, professional life and travel life have converged and exploded, as life always does.

See Exhibit A...


I'm SURE that I will forget to do something of vital importance, so I'm going to escape to see 'Arry Potter the first chance I get... it will be a pleasure to make myself more crazed by irresponsibly watching a movie rather than confirming my flight reservation.

Here's a preview of what you can expect when I leave my worldly responsibilities behind and attempt to blog from the great beyond.

Italian Adventure:
July 19 - fly to Atlanta (pick up mom and dad) and keep flying to Milan
*Make all friends jealous for leaving them behind

July 20 - arrive Milan, take train to Stresa on Lake Maggiore
*Visit gardens on Isole Bella

July 21 - train from Stresa to Venice
*Make effort to NOT fall into canals

July 23 - train from Venice to Florence (meet up with john and maryelaine)
*See art, eat food, climb Duomo, take side trip to Siena

July 27 - drive to Lucca
*Ride bikes, frolic amongst olive trees

July 29 - drive to Cinque Terre
*Melt into beauty, avoid hiking too much

July 30 - drive to Milan
*See "Last Supper," eat last supper

July 31 - fly to Atlanta (drop off mom and dad, possibly see laura) then reluctantly return to LA
*Cry
