I'm Leaving!!!

I am freaking out! I am so excited! I have only slept for like 6 hours and can't fall back to sleep. Hopefully this means that I will sleep the whole flight from Canada to Italy with the help of Sleepy Time of course too ;] I have been constantly reviewing Italian in my head on what some possible phrases I need to know or would need to come up with to communicate with locals, airport people, cab drivers, metro people, etc. The key today is to get from the airport to my hostel with as little problems as possible while at the same time carrying luggage especially heavy luggage. BUT I KNOW I CAN DO IT! I won't be alone either, so I think that will help. I am flying with Rachel whom I had a class with but didn't know (all I knew was her name). She facebooked me, and we talked and decided to fly together. OMG, I can't believe I will be in Italy for 3 months! Traveling, learning the language, meeting new people, seeing new things...I can't wait! I really hope everything goes smoothly especially today and tomorrow. I just want to be sitting in a cafe drinking a cappucino, eating a pastry, and enjoying Rome...Wish me luck and safe traveling-in the air and in Italy!
