48 Hours...

I hope you are farther along in your packing than I am! Don't forget to consult your packing list and think of additional things you use every day as you go through your normal routine tomorrow.  We can find most things you would need in Europe, bit not always the exact brand you are used to!

Also, don't forget to text me at the number for my new phone if you haven't already done so!

See you at the International Terminal off of I-75 very soon!

First Day's View!

At the front of the view are the backs of thirteen large statues that stand in along the edge of the façade. Beyond them can be seen the piazza which is in three parts. The nearest appears square, while the second widens into an oval surrounded on each side by the huge grey columns on the colonnade, and with the obelisk at its centre. Beyond that is a further square surrounded by pale pink buildings. A wide street leads from the square, at the end of which can be seen the river, a bridge and castle.

Welcome to your view the first day we arrive! (Rome from Dome of St. Peter's Basilica)

Money!

Tips for Spending Money Abroad - Please check out this article from nerdwallet last month!  I think it is very appropriate for our travel.  FYI - I order enough currency from my bank for my entire trip (or my best guess) to avoid any repetitive charges.  Bank of America offers competitive rates for customers with no delivery charge if I pick it up at my local branch.  This is pretty standard.
