My bags are packed...

I'm ready to go.
To land of pizza and ge-la-to(e).

20 pounds I might gain,
but the food will be insane!

Canals, vineyards, and lakes,
some art I'll take in--none of it fake!

The Jolie-Pitt kids (who have been in Venice) will be Wiley's playmates,
while Brad-gelina and Wil-son go on a double date.

My nails are grey, my clothes are dark,
I guess London has left its mark.

I've overpacked, I'm sure of that,
but "be prepared" i have down pat.

To Italy I go, have you been there too?
there is so much to see, so much to do.

Have you got something for us to go see?
If you'll leave me a suggestion, so grateful I would be!

Ahh...Italy...so fun. Go to the Cinque Terra & if you visit Florence, eat at Ristourante da Mimmo.

uh, I am beyond jealous. I hope you booked the bike tour in Florence. If not, DO IT NOW. Also, you should go see Casa Artom in Venice just for Dear Old Wake Forest's sake. Plus it's pretty awesome and you could probs hang out there for a little break from wandering. Take fun pictures and eat lots of gelatoooooo!!!

Um. JEALOUS. Have a wonderful time and be careful. Say hello to Brangelina for me! Maybe they'll want to reunite for a little dinner party while I'm in town?

You are in the same space as Colin Firth right now and we are all so envious!
