I'm ready to go. Almost.
And it's ONE bag. Today's backpack weight: 16 lbs. I found a neoprene sleeve for the laptop and bought a 'secret moneybelt' to thwart the pickpockets mentioned on every website I've read preparing for this trip. I've talked to my mom and my sister and told everyone I love that I love them. So even though I'm not keen on flying, by this time tomorrow, I'll be winging my way to Rome.
E-Tickets, passport and other ID, copies of my passport and other ID, money, clothes, toiletries (including 1 flattened roll of US tissue), a book, my ipod Touch (onto which I still have downloading to do), three legal-size pages in landscape orientation of three columns each outlining plans for what to see and how to see it, contact numbers in Rome and Florence. A great weather forecast for departure; a lousy forecast for 10 days of showers. I'm contemplating an umbrella but since I never carry one here, I don't think it'll make the backpack. My windbreaker has a hood; I have an extra rain poncho and a garbage bag. Power cords; plug adapter.
Deep breaths. See the piazza. Think euros and Celsius. No umbrella.
