Off to Charlotte. I am at the airport waiting to board the plane.  So far so good. I think I have everything ready. At least I have my passport, credit card and iPad everything else I can replace when I get there if I have to.  I have downloaded every app recommended so I can Skype, text, find wifi, and get a map of florence off–line so I should be good.  The at&t international plans were crazy expensive so that didn’t work out as well as I hoped. I have unlimited text but otherwise will need to use wifi to connect. Not sure how this will affect my posting but figure if mama’s or the school doesn’t have it I will just have to find a cafe/bar with wifi. It will be quite the sacrifice to have a glass of wine during my posting.

I was late with my last post. I drafted but had to wait for the pictures to move over to my iPad then forgot to post it. Since it was already done I went ahead and posted. Hope I didn’t confuse anyone I am about to get on the plane. Next stop ROME…
