It's 11:31. Our flight to Heathrow leaves at 4:55. Over the the past 24 hours, I've packed, un-packed and re-packed my bag inumerable times. I'm excited.

We've been planning this trip since December, when we found the unbelievably cheap roundtrip flights to Rome. Too cheap to pass up, so we committed, 6 weeks, clicked to confirm. Since then, we've poured over guide books and scoured discount travel websites to create a trip that fit all of our wants and needs. The itinerary we settled on, with a mix of camping and luxury hotels at rock-bottom prices, big cities and lovely landscapes, suits us just fine.

So here we go.

Oh, and I decided to bring a sweater. I've been deliberating it for a few hours now. I appreciate the fact that, currently, this is my primary concern. Sweater: to bring or not to bring? Living on vacation is ripe with the most treacherous of choice points.
Bringing a sweater is silly. Maybe I'll unpack my bag and take the sweater out.

You will not need a sweater anywhere over there, but it'll be useful on the plane. You are going to Rome, WHAT ABOUT BELLAGIO!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I already wore the sweater. For 10 minutes yesterday. Already worth it. I'll definitely need to wear it when we go fox hunting with the queen at Windsor Castle tomorrow.
