ROME here I come!!!

I decided to start this blog about my experience in Rome this summer. I'm about 100 days out from the trip, but I'm so excited I figured I would start and write about getting prepared for the trip too!

I am going to Au Pair/ Tutor a 9 year old boy and a 6 year old girl this summer in the heart of Rome! I will be living with the family. The family lives right down the street from my cousin, Loraleigh, and her family. I am a little scared about being lonely when I am over there but at least I will have family so close by. This is going to make a huge difference in the trip!

I have to get my passport soon! I will be going this week! I can't put it off too long!

I wish I could leave tomorrow for the trip! I want this semester to be over. I have so much to do though! I need to learn some Italian! I downloaded some apps on my iPhone! Between those and YouTube Italian lessons hopefully I will not be clueless when I get there. I've been thinking about packing! How in the world will I pack for 3 months! I don't know how they dress over there. I guess I will just bring lots of sun dresses and shorts!
Can't wait to get started planning for my trip!! :)
