flight to italy, booked.

mary and i are both turning 25(!) this summer, and in hopes of making it most memorable, we decided to take a trip. we knew from the get-go that we didn't want to do a beach / tropical vacation. we wanted to do something different, SEE something different.

i first showed her this picture two months ago with the following caption: "New York Times described it as 'undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by man.' lets go to venice."

and after much consideration (also thought about greece), we decided (in a french cafe, heh) that we'd go to italy -- six cities: rome, siena, florence, pisa, cinque terra, and finally, beautiful, beautiful, venice.  

the one and only regret that i had in college is not having studied abroad. i got caught up in other things, and wish i made the effort then. but if it weren't for my lack of experiences abroad, i feel like this trip wouldn't mean as much to me as it does now. guess that means i can scratch out that one, and go back to having no regrets. what's not to love (:
