Five weeks may seem like a long time, but it is starting to worry me that I’ve only got five weeks left. I like to be completely prepared, with a plan for everything, even if we don’t stick to the plan. I am still writing out our itinerary. I still need to rent a car for the Italy portion, including figuring out where to drop it off on the way to Rome. I haven’t put down the deposit for our two Tuscany lodgings (because they require a fax, can’t do it online). I haven’t tested out all the road-trip electronics. I don’t know what I’m going to pack. I haven’t got comfy shoes figured out. We haven’t done our wills. Ohhh, I shouldn’t write out all the things to do, it just makes me anxious.
