Thanks, Fannie, for setting me up! With all the last minute details and decision making there is nothing better than having someone who can remind you of the fun stuff and help with some of it for you. You are the greatest! (Add that to the draft of "The Best Book of Superlatives Ever!")

We're almost off!

We're about to leave on Thursday and are finishing up the last little bits around the house. Fannie has even managed to clean her room and set up this blog for her mom (and type this first post). Char will be blogging about all of the Roman adventures at this address over the next four months. Stay tuned for beautiful photos, crazy tales, and great food! (electronically, that is)
