We are 43 days out from our departure on this great adventure. I have spent a good deal of time gathering all of my thoughts onto a list for things I will need to take to be able to do the things we need to do. Airline reservations have been in place for several months now, the hotel in Gaeta is booked, and our hotel in Rome is reserved. There is so much to do, but it feels like there is so little time to do it in the two weeks we will be there. I will be keeping a written journal of our trip as well with more private thoughts for my wife to see while I am gone. For Christmas, she gave me a travel journal that is absolutely wonderful for doing this. This will be a wonderful adventure for me to meet family I have never seen before, see family I have, greet new family into this world with the arrival of a new cousin just weeks before our trip, and to see the homeland area where my ancestors are from.

I am Greg Smith. I work for the North Carolina Community College System in Greenville, NC, but I serve the entire State of North Carolina. This is my first trip to Italy, and thankfully it is with my twin brother who has been one time before. I am relying on him to get me through the ins-and-outs of traveling abroad for my very first time, and especially with the language barrier. In addition, our cousin will serve as our host, interpreter, tour guide, and family mentor while we are there. Archives
