Hey blogosphere,

I made it to my gate. Two posts in one day is NOT something you should come to expect, but there are only so many things to do with an hour to kill at the gate. I already called my parents, my grandma, and Ashley. I called my bank and the VISA people and notified them of upcoming travel. I decided to save my baby bourbon for my train in Italy tomorrow. I survived a TSA full-cavity search. That last part was a joke, they let me through pretty easily.

I'm really not sure I've ever been less stressed while traveling. Everything today went exactly according to plan. I hope this is a sign of things to come.

I did realize that I do not have a map of Siena. I can probably pick one up at the station there... but nothing comes free. Or I could just pray my Italian is still good enough to ask an old lady on the street. I remember Piazza del Campo is roughly south from the station. I'm meeting Carrie in the piazza, God willing, around 7 tomorrow evening. I am very, very excited to be abroad.

First items on my agenda:
1) Get a coffee.
2) Gelatoooo.
3) Pizzaaaa.
4) Absinthe shot. It's a longstanding plan of Carrie and mine.

Until you hear from me again,
Ciao ciao.
