Happy New Year!
Time is still flying, but I am ready to get going to Italy. Today is 52 days away from departing on our journey. I have everything ready to go, just not packed into my suitcase (my OCD is coming out). We made a decision to send most of our gifts ahead of us to alleviate the weight and expense of carrying them with us on the plane (I know this was a good decision, although it has been 35 days and it still has not arrived i Italy). Sending the package early insures that we are able to get everything there, and it will be easier on Vito and Wilma so they do not have to be on the lookout for the package while awaiting the arrival of their baby girl. My wife gave me a journal to write in daily with a pocket to collect souvenirs from my travels, so I will be busy. This was probably my favorite Christmas gift as it gives me a.place to write more private thoughts about my upcoming journey to share with her. Entries will start to get more numerous on our blog.between now and our departure as well. Ciao!

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
