Hey Lori,
My sister, Jessica, bought some CD's a few months ago to try to learn Italian. She was listening to them in her car on the way to work. But she'll be WAY ahead of me.......'cause I'm with your son......I think basics like "Gelato" & "Pizza" will be fine for me! LOL
And I agree with you on the packing issue. I have been "mentally" packed for weeks, but will soon have to actually put all that into the real suitcase & make sure it is enough ( or not too much! )
Jessica & I have been checking the weather in Rome on a pretty regular basis for about the past month. It seems to have been mostly on a par with Boston weather. Most days recently in Rome have been about in the mid-80's & sunny. Hope it stays that way.....'cause that will be perfect!
And speaking of weather, are you guys hunkering down for Hurricane Hanna?????? Stay safe!
Betsy
