Aunt Aud Thanks, Tosh, for another vicarious visit. Glad you made it safely!

Kelly Glad you are having fun! Still miss you though. You are fun to read.

... finally you post something, after how many times i begged you to, this better be a daily occurrence, otherwise i might slit your throat when i see you next, love your younger sister(just not the baby one)

Aunt Aud Thanks for doing this. It is so much fun to read.

Kelly Shikany i am so glad you didn't buy vodka and bought wine.....

Mom I love this and I have read it many times throughout the day!! I have laughed and cried. Thank you!!!! Miss you!!! OK, that being said, Why did you sleep on the creepy mattress cover?? Natasha how many times have I ripped off the bedspreads before you guys could touch them!!!!! Gross!!!! Really?????

Brad You "remembered" a sweater for Rome in August but forgot a Towel! I love it. Did you pack your mittens and beanie as well?

Aunt Aud I love this wonderful entry! I know you will get busy and won't have a lot of time to do this, but it was fun and thorough and really interesting. I can't wait to hear more. I am so excited for you...and jealous! Please have a wonderful, safe and horizon-widening experience. Love you.

Sara P.S. - I fully agree with you on the grape wine thing. I would skip the grapes - they take way too long to ferment on your own.

Sara Why am I not surprised that you had to go home to get some stuff you left? Silly girl. I can't wait to follow your blog to hear about all of your adventures! Glad you made it okay.

deb Tosh....you are so funny! so did you find a towel? I guess you will be spending a lot of time in the computer lab since it's air conditioned. you don't have to answer me but please continue to write in your blog because it makes me laugh. Have fun and have some wine for me. love, deb

Kelly Dear Tash, Please be super careful in Italy. My sister was an RA in Italy and some kids get really wacko overseas..... Enjoy yourself of course, but be safe. We all want you home with lots of fun stories and great shoes. Kelly
