home again home again jiggity-jig

Taber and I are packing up and heading back to the States tomorrow. We had originally planned to stay until the beginning of September but because the team did not make playoffs, or time here is cut short. We had wanted to travel around Italy for three weeks after the season but US Airways wanted an outrageous amount of money to change Taber's ticket. Instead of paying an arm and a leg, we condensed our travel plans to a week and a half. Although we are heading home, the blog is not complete. I still have many travel adventures to write about! I was hoping to get them posted before departing Italy, but considering we are leaving for the airport in one hour I do not think that is possible. Maybe if we were completely packed...but of course we are not. I was spoiled while packing for my trip out here. My four best friends, Sarah, Erin, Steph, and Jessi made a trip down to Oly to assist me. If I could re-throw my coin in the Trevi fountain my wish would be for them to be here helping me pack.
Neither Taber or I are ready to leave Italy.Six months ago Reggio Emilia was just another dot on the map. It has slowly transformed into our home and our city. A city that has continued to fill our hearts with joy day after day. The experience has exceeded our expectations in all areas.
After the blog entries are completed I plan on summing up our time in Italy (at least attempting to). So even if we see you tomorrow, continue reading for more information on our last two weeks in Italy.
Now back to packing....
