Pre-departure

I have never used a blog before, so please be patient with me ; )
I hope that this will work out for mass communication purposes.

Soooooo...
I am leaving for FLORENCE, ITALY in 2 days!

A couple of quick things to note:

1. If you would like to contact me (and I would LOVE to hear from you!) I recommend emailing me at my Winona address, post a blog message, facebook message, or get Skype and chat with me!
2. I will try my hardest to keep extensive documentation of my visit abroad through blog journals and lots of photos
3. I would LOVE to hear from you via snail mail! I LOVE letters! I will post my address in the near future
4. I will NOT recommend sending me packages, because the pick-up fees are hefty!
5. I will be carrying an international cell phone with me, but I will not be giving out that number, as it is for my use in emergencies
