I have booked a plane ticket to Venice. Cost me £29.99 before taxes, £44 including. I leave in nine days from Liverpool airport.
I can't believe it. I am in shock. So many emotions are running through my head - this is all actually going to happen. I need to pack my things next week. I will be leaving my house, my flatmates, and Manchester for seven weeks.
I must have missed something before. I didn't realize I would actually be leaving. I haven't expirienced these emotions for a very long time, since I left Vancouver - they even seem more intense this time.
The plan for Italy is this: Start in Venice, take the train to Verona, and then head to Florence. Close to that is Pisa, down to Siena if I have time, and then Rome. After Rome comes Pompeii (so excited: I'm a geologist/historian at heart) and then to a place called the Isle of Capris (just google it. It's gorgeous). After that I'm off to Greece in the cheapest way possible (excluding walking). I may have to head back up to Milan and catch a flight to Athens.
I am going backpacking. In nine days. This is insane.
I must also confess that I bought a video game magazine two days ago. It had Link on the cover, and was the issue all about E3 (biggest viideo game expo in the world). Has tons of information on the new system for Nintendo as well. I can't help it, I really am a 15 year old boy at heart.
And on a final note: England and Sweden tied 2-2 last night. England should have won - the last goal from Sweden was within the last few minutes of the game. It wasn't even a decent goal, it just bounced in. The England team has also lost Mike Owens for at least five months - he's injured his knee. The next game is on Sunday and is against Equador.
