I am nervous and excited for spring break to come. Over spring break I am going to different places in Italy. Exciting, right? Well I am nervous because I am traveling by myself. Well, kind of. I signed up to go to Italy with a group of people, but the group of people is from different parts of the US and I don’t know any of them. We are all meeting up at JFK (the airport in Long Island, NY), so I have to take a plane from Ronald Reagan to JFK all by myself. It will only be the third time in my life that I will be taking a plane, and the first time alone. I am excited to be traveling to Italy though. My mom is Italian, and I hardly know anything about the culture. It’s going to be great to see the different places and tradition and how different it is from America. I will be going to Rome, Florence, Isle of Capri, Naples, and Pompeii. I am leaving Saturday March 6 and returning Sunday March 14. It stinks that I have a final when I get back in my basic aerobic conditioning class, but I hope it won’t be too hard. I know I won’t be doing any studying when I am gone, unless it’s one the plane. When I went to Ireland last summer I slept for most of the flight, and it was an 8 hour flight. I did some reading, but nothing too much. I hope it does not snow that weekend and the flights get cancelled. I will be one angry student. So, wish me luck!
