Buon Giorno e Benvenuto!
Hello everyone, and welcome to my new blog.
The primary goal for this blog is to record my (mis?) adventures through Italy next month. It may or may not continue past that point, depending on my mood and if I have anything to say. It also may or may not be updated while I am actually IN Italy, depending on how much internet access I can locate.
For anyone who doesn't already know, my dad Mat, and I will be going to Rome for three nights, Orvieto for two nights, and Florence for six nights. The first half of the trip is being done independently, and planned by me, and we will join a Rick Steves' tour for the Florence portion.

I went to Rome alone on a Rick Steves' tour last December, and absolutely loved it. I've also really enjoyed planning our portion of the trip this time, even though it can often be overwhelming. In addition to hours of research, I have been preparing for the trip by learning Italian (ciao Laura e Charity!).
Some people may be wondering about the title of this blog. I wanted something a little more expansive than "Liz's 2008 Italy trip" and I really enjoyed Verdi's quote "You may have the universe, if I may have Italy." I've had a life-long fascination with Italy that only grew stronger after going there. I am sure this next trip will be every bit as wonderful as the last.
A presto!
Liz
