Well, the time is getting close for us heading out to Italy and Spain! To bring those who are new up to speed quickly, James and I are planing to go and live in Spain for 6 months starting on December 13th. We will take in a trip to Italy for 7 days before arriving on the island of Menorca on December 21st.
There are still so many things to do as well before we leave. I have more lists than you can imagine, and some things are just floating around my head. On top of all of this it is the end of the semester at school so projects are due and finals are happening as well. In hindsight, perhaps we should be leaving the country a week later than we are, as that would have given a clear week with no school, no UC, no Starbucks and no exams to concentrate on getting everything done. Ah well! Last night we researched a little side trip to Florence from Rome. We booked ourselves a cheap (very cheap:-45euros) hotel round the corner from the Duomo. We then tried to book train tickets from Rome to Florence, but failed at the final hurdle due to a credit card address issue on the Trenitalia website. So we will book those tickets when we arrive at Rome on the 15th. We will be in Florence on the 18th and 19th December now, then heading back to Rome on the evening of the 19th. Then on the 21st we head onto Menorca. I am expecting the apartment to be freezing when we arrive. With no heating and all those stone floors, it will be a cold first night! Then the challenge the next day will be to work out how to heat the place.
Anyway, enough for now. Back to work! See you all later!
