/Leaving cannot come soon enough. You know when you start to go in circles with the "do I need one more shirt? Have I remembered to pack shoes? Do I have my tickets" business. It is just time to head out. Soon, soon!

Marvelous. And tomorrow I will be in the midst of pasta, gelati, espresso, Venice!
