A few more days

I'm glad I have a few more days before I leave for Italy because I'm still trying to get used to this new little netbook. It's the cutest thing! About the size of a book, techno-slick and red! Just the right size for fitting into my carry-on to capture my thoughts and load photos and post in this blog. Oh, and maybe check Facebook occasionally. . .

Speaking of photos, I just uploaded Picasa. Hope it's as easy to use as it says it is. Since this little guy doesn't have a way to load external programs, I can't use the photo software that comes with my camera. So as soon as I actually put some photos onto this computer, maybe I'll be in luck for eventually having a multi-media blog! Stay tuned!

Italy awaits!

Italy awaits! After thinking about this trip for almost a year, in less than a week, I'll step off the plane in Venice and then take a BOAT from the airport to the hotel! Woo hoo! If only I could figure out how to post a picture of a boat to this blog, I'd be all set to go!

Right! If ONLY that were the only thing left to do. How about packing? How about letting my bank know I'm going to be using my Visa card in Italy? How about sending my family my itinerary? Stopping my mail and newspapers? How about figuring out how to charge all my little technology gadgets while I'm there?

After planning for a year, why does it seem there's everything to do at the last minute?!!
