My friend and I leave for Italy on Friday morning! Woo hoo! Months of planning and waiting and its finally here! Just saying....

I understand your excitement, remembering my first trip to France

Loves2sing, have a comfortable and on time flight and a beautiful time in Italy! Waiting and waiting..I can so relate! Enjoy!

Friday is a lucky day-- it's our wedding anniversary, as well as our daughter's birthday! It will be a good day for you, too! Have fun, and be sure to write a detailed trip report.

Thanks everyone, looking forward to it. It's my second trip to Italy but my friends first. We have been best friends for over 40 years, ever since we were five years old, and its our first real vacation together. Leaving the kids and husband at home. Yep, exicited!

And PeaceOut, congratulations on your anniversary!

Thanks, loves2sing. You are so lucky to be going with an old friend AND leaving kids and husbands at home. Smart girls!

I've been back about three weeks from our trip and am still going through withdrawal. I know exactly how you feel! Have a great time and be sure to write a trip report when you get back.

Have fun and do not forget to smile--it helps.
