Departure time: T minus 8 hours

I leave for Italy in about 8 hours! I'll arrive in Frankfurt, Germany around 8 am (their time), then it's a quick flight to Florence. We land at 1pm Florentine time, and are put on taxis to meet our host families.

I'm looking forward to meeting Guido (my host dad), Patrizia (host mother), and Laura (my 20 year old sister!).

I will attempt to update this as often as possible and put up pictures and stories of the places I have visited. I plan on going to Germany, Swiss Alps, France, and all over Italy.

Check back whenever you like to see what new things I have been up to!

Ciao,

Ali
