I’m currently sitting at the gate, waiting to board the plane to Italy! I’m feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety because I want to be in Cortona already. I was a little more nervous getting here because my bag weighed EXACTLY 50 pounds. AH! I’m planning on throwing away A LOT of my toiletries…

I’m currently waiting at the gate to board the plane to Italy! My stomach is full of butterflies, but I’m extremely excited to see all the wonders that the Italian country has to offer. Having never traveled outside the country before, I’m anxious to become a world traveler. Hopefully the adjustment won’t be too difficult!

The Grand Tour was a grand experience. Frankly, I still cannot believe I was able to visit so many of history’s greatest sites. From Pompeii, to the Vatican, to Buckingham Palace, I was able to acquire a lifetime of memories. I learned that sometimes it is necessary to go out of your comfort zone…
