I think the more time we have to get ready, the more crazy we become with all the obsessive details. Dan thought we should copy our passports and credit cards and plant them in the luggage in case we lose them. So we did. Then we thought that if we lost our luggage it wouldn't be such a great idea  as anyone could get our credit card numbers so we got rid of the copies. Then we had to call our banks to let them know we would be using the credit cards in Europe. More pesky details to remember.In a last desperate bid to try to communicate with the Italians- I bought some language CDS on Friday- something I should have done months ago! Oh well, I guess I will be limited to "Dove il gabinetto" (Where's the bathroom) and Ciao, bello! (hi handsome) Oh- and I have to learn the phrase for "I'll have the truffles.." 

2 days to go....
