New and exciting vacations!!!

After planning for a couple of months, my summer travel plans are coming together piece by piece...
Most importantly, I finally got approval from work, so now everything is set to go. *YEAH*
Well, there will be two trips this summer, both rather big ones... because they involve places I have never visited... And as I have planned last year, this summer's return to Italy will mark the 10th Anniversary my first and only visit to Italy (gosh... how time flies), a country with so much history, such beautiful architecture, and MANY things good-looking. Would be so much fun to dig out the journal I kept (the only journal I've kept, EVER) and visit the same places again.
Last time I went there all alone, made a couple of friends along the way, and was semi-adventurous. I had just graduated from college, and was living a dream. Now, 10 years on, am I any wiser or smarter? Will I see these things any differently than before?
Well, at least 10 years on, those famous sites will still be there, as they were then. They never seem to change much over such little time, do they? Staying beautiful, magnificent to look at, still loved by visitors the world over. What if the same happens to us?

28

Multiple of 7?
The Perfect Age?
Number of good friends?
Or your new nickname, Aaron?
Despite cool weather, choppy waters, and the Sun playing Hide-and-Seek, a boat cruise in late April couldn't be more fun. Good friends, new faces, cool sports, fun games, plus "Gweilo seafood" and good hazelnut cake from Agnes b., this marked a great beginning of Summer 2007! Now I just have to get in better shape for the shorts and tank tops.
