Almost Time!

6 WEEKS AND COUNTING!!
May 14th can not get here soon enough! I am leaving on a Friday around 5pm and will get to Venice on the 15th.
I will pretty much talk to anyone that will listen about where I am going and what I am going to be doing.
I have been getting really good advice from people and relatives that have traveled there aka: Veronica, Unlce Mike & Amy.(thank you!!)
So I am now in the waiting stage and starting to think about what I am going to bring as far as clothes and stuff. I am really confident that I will be buying plenty there so probably wont be packing to heavy.
This week I have talked to Cristina, whom I will be staying with, and she gave me an insight into what her day is like. She gets off work around 3pm and then goes to get the kids from school. But she said when I am there that I can go get them!
Federico and Cecilia, 5 and 3, are going to a place called "English Land", where they learn and play with words in English. Cristina says they are excited about learning more English.




This is picture Cristina sent me. Look at the water! I plan to take the kids there ALL the time!!





Below is their house, where I will be staying while in Padova. Looks FABULOUS!




Here is Federico, Gianmarco and Cecilia
