the countdown

We're at 21 days and counting until I leave for Italy.

I was laying in bed last night (after seeing Atonement-great great film) and realizing my to-do list is getting no shorter while the days until I leave is quickly scooting past me.
Having never been Europe, let alone for 2 months, I'm having difficulty knowing what I should be doing let alone planning for. So, I'm giving in to the fact that there will be some terribly stressful and scary moments for me in this trip. But that's part of the experience for me. I'm learning to not be so uptight and not so concerned about the unknown. I feel like I'm making extreme progress. but the true test will be 21 days from now as I'm flying into the unknown. :)
