Arrived! Day 1
After 15 hours of traveling to Venice, and accidentally taking the "scenic route" alone to the hostel... I MADE IT! I was thrilled to see Jamie's familiar face and finally get some rest. Unfortunately, it was 11am local time. I pushed myself for as long as I could, but ultimately was forced to lie down for a few hours and make up for my lack of sleep. I awoke ready to take on what was left of the day and we took to the main island to wander and eat dinner. I had one of the best meals of my entire flipping existence -- fresh caprese and four cheese gnocchi. Wowza. I highly recommend Ostaria al Garanghelo in Venezia. Just don't let them charge you for the bread you didn't ask for!! Then we had the most delicious mint gelato and made our way back to the hostel. Currently, we're making plans for our next destination and fighting off the food coma.

Ciao, Chicago!
At the airport and ready to go! I was lucky to see my brother off to his bachelor party before I left.
After a night of feverishly packing and re-packing and a very long angry phone call to Verizon, I'm now here and ready to go!!
Can't wait.

Departure Countdown: 24 Days (Updated Departure Time)
Flight = booked.
This is all becoming very real. Today I booked my flight and I leave June 14th. I never really thought about the flight and how long it would take. It is an eight hour flight from Chicago to London and there is a six hour time change. THAT'S 14 HOURS! I can't wait to become acquainted with my new friend, Jet Lag. I'm hoping to sleep during the flight; but knowing me and real life travel patterns, I will be wide awake the entire time. If I go sleepless on the flight, I will be awake for roughly 31 hours before I can go to sleep on the 15th.
What a wonderful way to start my trip: crippling fatigue and subsequent moodiness/crankiness.
I'm studying up on some ways to avoid jet lag. Below is a link to some good tips that I will keep in mind on my flight but mostly likely disregard.
