I can pretend that I am Diane Lane or Julie Roberts while planning this trip and fully expect to have some technicolor moments during this upcoming trip to Tuscany...
People are so generous with their ideas and their contacts. Those being tremendously helpful in planning this trip so far include Betty Webb (Dir of Study Abroad for Meredith College) & Kevin Morrison (Assoc Director), Msgr. Brian Ferme, President of Marcainum Institute in Venice, Jack Schlageter, Trisha Murtaugh, Mahan Esfahani, Hank Straus and Karen Barwick, and bunches of other friends who have lent books, ideas, encouragement and inspiration. Hooray for U.S. Airways and the free flight using mileage (greatest invention ever). It will be so fun to share ideas with the Meredith College study abroad students in Sansepolcro.
Now to work more on the itinerary and learn some basic Italian phrases...
Ciao!
