Less than a month to go!

Here is Tamara and Massimo's wedding invitation. I don't read Italian but I get the jist and I'm sure you do as well. I'm finalizing the apartment rental in Paris and trying to find Christmas gifts for the Sorace family (my aunt Giovanna's family). Dad and I have our flights booked and guidebooks highlighted. I'm speaking French in my car and learning a few key phrases in Italian for our days in Catania (Sicily) and in Rome.

Bonjour mes amis,

Here I will chronicle planning a trip to Europe in the winter. I knew I wanted to go to Europe in 2008, my 30th year. I was considering April, May or October. I had already started saving when my cousin Tamara got engaged in June and decided for me that I'd be visiting Sicily in December for her wedding to Massimo! My birthday is January 10 and I decided I simply must spend my 30th birthday in Paris. So, with approval from my kind boss I'm set for a three week journey through Italy and France December 19, 2007 until January 12, 2008.
