I leave for Italy tomorrow!
 

I leave for two weeks tomorrow!! I can't believe it's here. I'm excited, nervous, exhilarated, scared, a bit sad, grateful, energized, overwhelmed, happy, worried.... I am surprised at the mix of feelings I'm having. It all seems surreal. I guess because I don't get to travel near as often as I would like, I am not a seasoned traveler therefore so much is unknown.

Do others get this rush?

Once again though, with the help of all of you, I think I have planned a beautiful trip! I want to thank you all for the insight and tips!

Have a wonderful trip. I wish I was leaving tomorrow also---for anywhere in Europe---I must have gypsy blood, I can never get enough travel.

Don't worry, and don't judge anything on your first day when you are tired and cranky from flying.

Throw a coin in the Trevi for me, I'd love to go back to Italy. We'll be waiting for your trip report.

We also go by that 24 hour rule. All the feelings you are experiencing are exactly how I feel when we travel and we travel somewhere about 3 or 4 times a year!

We will be in Rome in a few months and then on to Sorrento so our trips are similar. We will be staying in the Piazza Navona area in Rome (we stayed near the Spanish Steps a long time ago, then near Via Venato and a few times near Piazza Navona - you will like the location) and in an apartment in Sorrento - another area you will love.

Have a fabulous trip, luvlimoncello! Tell us all about it when you return.

About the feelings....a resounding yes!! I'm thrilled for you as I must wait until next spring.

Please have a Limoncello for me - I'm addicted to it!!

Have a wonderful trip!

Buon viaggio!

Yes, been on that emotional rollercoaster.
It is all worth it once you arrive. Have a
wonderful trip.
