Florence is in my future

After a long wait, a lot of paperwork, and tons of packing, I am finally ready to start my journey to Florence, Italy tomorrow. I have managed to pack my whole life in a 60 pound suitcase, two backpacks, and a large tote bag. Hopefully I am not forgetting anything, but I guess as long as I have my passport and ticket, I am good to go. It is a weird feeling to actually be leaving for a different country for a full semester and not heading back to Boulder like I am used to...but I am ready for the adventure to begin! (starting with a 13 hour flight!)
