In 59 days (and 8 hours), I will be boarding a plane to go on one of the most exciting trips of my life. For my graduation present, my parents are sending me to Spain and Italy for 12 days!!!! I am going with someone I became very friendly with while student teaching this past semester. We both spoke about how much we wanted to go away to Europe, and we decided we should go. Thankfully we have supportive parents, and they think this is an amazing trip that we are going on (and they are willing to give us money). My friend and I have started to plan out our trip. We are flying in to Madrid, and spending two days there. Then we will travel to Barcelona for three days. After that, we are flying to Venice for two days. We will then head down to Florence for a day, and then move on to Rome for two days. I am so excited for this trip, it is all I think about.
As I prepare for my trip, I need your suggestions. Many of my friends and family have been to Spain and Italy, and now I am asking for your help. What are some things that I MUST do while I am in the two countries? What is your one best memory from Spain and/or Italy? Also, are there some things I need to eat while I'm away? One friend told me that I have to drink Cappuccino's in Rome (even though I don't like coffee). Any other suggestions of what else I should try? I am excited for all your suggestions!! And I will be back in a few weeks to ask you more questions about what to bring with me.
P.S. Send me your addresses if you would like postcards =)
