Off to Italy

So it's 4am here but it's 2pm in Italy right now. I've already half adjusted to Italy time and it's not like I would be able to sleep anyway at this point. My flight leaves at 11:30am which means I have to be at the airport by 8:30. Before then I still want to weigh my baggage, make sure I have everything, try and find my watch that went missing, ready my bike for the flight by removing the pedals turning the handle bars and deflating the tires, and make a snack for the plane.

I'm currently at my grandparents place as this is where I"m getting a ride to the airport from. My brothers going to stay in my apartment and hopefully take good care of it. Unfortunately my fridge is completely empty except for the condiments and my cupboards are pretty bare so he's going to have to buy some food.

Today I'll have a really quick day and then a really quick night as the flight lasts 14.5 hours and lands at the same time of day it takes off. Hopefully my jet lag isn't that bad. After the plane I've got a couple train rides and then I hope to meet my friends at the train station in Florence. Greg said there's a 75% chance they'll be there when I get there. If not, well... I shall wait.
