7 weeks from today I'll depart for Rome! Can't wait, have paid all that must be paid, even started organizing packing. I know, I know, way too early, but I'm trying to be one of those light packers who doesn't lug every item of clothing I own.
Now if the dollar will just behave....

I am estatic! Just booked Vueling from Seville for flight to Rome in early May 2009. We have a second home on Portugal's southern coast
where we have been going 2 or 3 times a year for 20 years. Seville just a short 2hr. drive, easy airport and good parking situation.
Did Barcelona from Seville in the fall.
Can't wait to be back in my favorite city which has been "calling" me with every Fodor's post about Rome that I read.
Now dealing directly with favorite apartment owner for a fabulous apartment and saving $$.
Mostly cannot wait to return to the restaurants La Tartaruga on Via Monte del Farina and Sora Margherita in the ghetto, eat gelato and wander this most amazing city.

I am leaving for Italy July 19th. We are staying for 5 weeks, 159 days to go! This will be my second trip to Italy. However this time will be different..I am returning with my Italian husband! I traveled to Italy in September of 2007. When I returned I met my soon to be husband in an Italian restaurant in my home town. Here's the good part..he is from the same home town that I spent a majority of my vacation in. I can't wait to return to Monte Di Procida, Italy. This was a small town I fell in love with. When I left I cried. I can't wait to return and spend time with my new family. Who says there is no such thing as fate...or maybe just a huge coincidence.

18 days until Grace Bay, Turks & Caicos.
Can't wait to feel the sand between my toes and the sun on my face.
After ll days there, we'll return and start planning for Las Vegas in July(yes, I know it's hot, but it's a business trip), and then Europe in Sept.(most likely,Paris again and one other destination).
Travelling Fodorites love planning,& asking & answering questions. It adds months on to our trip, don't you think?

Audreyh1, that is a great story! Have a wonderful time.
5 weeks and one day til I leave for Rome. Can't wait. Second time to Italy, first time to Rome, so really looking forward to it.
I've already started organizing. I'm also starting to have those dreams that I can't find the plane, left my camera at home, forgot to pack, etc. That means the trip is getting close.

I guess this thread isn't as easily seen in the new format...
At any rate - 72 days out from Normandy/D-Day celebrations with Dad, 7 weeks past that is Provence with Mom, and I JUST finished plotting with a friend of mine - we are going to London in October!
