I am fleeing the country the moment the big hand on the clock tics itself across that invisible line I have mentally labeled "Summer". I decided I would record the stories of my travels for all the avid readers, eager, I know, to drink in every letter of my epic journey. This is for all of you out there whom I may forget to call, write, send pictures to, or bring a present back for. Well here you go, this is my "gift". I intend to keep this blog up to date with my day by day explorations and noteworthy encounters.
With most of my exams behind me (praise the lord) and only one infernal soul sucker left, I have yet to begin packing. I am supposed to be receiving several travel necessities from my aunt, who has been to Paris, China, and a number of other places in pursuit of some sort of higher education. Three weeks of my life and summer will be spent abroad, so what to bring? Is my luggage big enough? Where am I supposed to put all the things I intend to buy? How many pairs of shoes is too many pairs of shoes, and how many socks must accompany them? Frankly, I plan to wing it (which is easier said then done for 28 days without a washing machine). In the meantime, I will be procrastinating my final cram session with blog customizations and more packing conundrums. Keep in touch! ;]

I'm (obviously) procrastinating studying too!
Hey Morgan!! Italy is completely awesome. Here's some tips for packing:
1. Don't bring anymore than a pair of jeans, they are heavy and take up lots of space. Besides Italy is just as hot as here in Louisiana.
2. Bring liquid detergent in small packets and wash your socks, underwear, or any light t-shirts.
3. If something doesn't look dirty, then don't worry about washing it. Trust me, if there aren't any washing machines, you'd rather wear "dirty" clothes than no clothes. Bring a bottle of Febreeze or something so that smell won't bother anyone.
Other tips:
4. TAKE PICTURES OF EVERYTHING! You're a photographer for Christ's sake, you should have no problem with this. Make sure you ALWAYS have extra batteries within arms length, and make sure you have enough changes of batteries for at least 2 or 3 changes (preferably more).
5. Buy lots of little nik-naks that you can't get in the US.
6. Try new foods. Italian food is hard to mess up.
7. Talk with the people. Italians are SOOOO nice, they WANT to feed you, so chat with them if possible.
8. Learn as much Italian is possible. They really appreciate when you bother to learn a tiny bit of thier language.
9. Enjoy yourself and soak in every bit of the experience!
I'll miss you! I'm leaving for China on June 6th, but I'll be back the 22nd (assuming they don't screw up the flight plans). So see ya then!
