Today I flew out of my hometown of Fairbanks to anchorage Alaska. I'm staying overnight here with my dad who is wearing a very stylish Indiana Jones hat at the moment. This is the first step in the final March to Italy. Tomorrow I fly to FRANKFURT Germany where I will take a train to Italy, through Switzerland. I spent the last few days running errands, putting my things in storage, and saying my goodbyes. Since only a few of my close friends are still in Fairbanks I spent most of my free time with my sister and brother in law and their daughters.
My momma also got a good chunk of my time as well. Last night I had a thanksgiving - going away Dinner with a few family members. I'd much rather have a small meaningful get together than a large gathering. Anyway since thanksgiving is an American holiday I wanted to have one before I left. My sister and momma did a great job making it. Saying goodbye this morning wasn't too hard. I'm too excited too be sad about leaving even tho I will miss my family. 
Hopefully ill have some interesting stories soon.

Dinner was great last night. Your Mom and Meadow hooked it up. Stay in touch. We'll be checking this blog daily (no pressure). I'm going to stay on Matt about getting his passport so he can visit you and experience a different country. You are embarking upon a priceless experience. It will be years from now before you truly understand the importance & value in what you're about to do. Big props to your Dad for hooking this up.
Enjoy!

You must be on the train now between Frankfurt and Firenze!! Cool. We are so excited to hear about getting through customs and onto the train, and of course, about the cafes, the Ponte Vecchio, the Pitti Palace, and oh, that's right, the school!!! It's almost midnight there, and almost 2:00 PM here. Send a text message when you get your phone, and we will call you.
Full moon!! Perfect!! But you will miss the lunar eclipse. http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/story/9256085p-9171059c.html I know you will be weeping on the banks of the Arno. ;-)
