Amalfi Coast

Nikki,
Gabriella mentioned that the Classics class takes a field trip to Pompeii which I had completly forgotten about. Now I have to rethink the whole mess!
I am planning on REALLY researching everything after school is out in December. Then I will have a better idea of what I want to see!

Thanks Barbara

Barbara,

I concure, I will also be doing an indefinite amount of research after school lets out ( oooh that day is soon approaching ) and I too have not really factored in the field trips, I am really just overwhelmed by the whole thing anyway, we have Europe at our fingertips and I don't even know where to start. Actually I do, Italy. As long as I feel I have gleaned from that country what I want, I think it will be safe to venture out. I still have some out of country definates like Paris, Greece and Munich, but that could all change in a heart beat. Like I said before, not a day will go by that will be wasteful and anychoice of travel will be a wonderful choice, ( me having never been to Europe in my life!)

So, ( geeze, I talk so much sometimes I forgot the point I am trying to make....) anyhow, thats what I think. That swiss chocolate does sound good too!! I am up for everything, I am like a sponge, I want to see and absorb as much As I can.. that is my ONLY goal!!

Exactly, I'm not going to come home and whine "but I did not see this", "I did not go there" *shudders* Living in Italy for 2 1/2 months is already a dream come true.

On the other hand, I'm also not going to miss oportunities from ignorance or lazyness either!

Dont settle, but dont take anything for granted-thats my motto

Rail passes give me nightmares. *shudder*

Since I'm coming to Rome by train, via Switzerland over a couple days I pretty much need to get a pass that covers multiple countries to begin with. Then, I need one to cover several countries after term too so I might as well have them cover the time I'm there. Together, two pases like this are looking to cost a minimum of $900 (which is probably a little too restricted) up to as much as $1300.

When I have the time I'll try and see if I can find some better way but I did some number crunching last week I think and this is what it came to. You can see why these passes scare me.

i really need to do more research into the whole railpass...but classes have to come first (i guess... ) but in a week and a half, once all my essays, projects and more are finally OVER, i will have to come up with a decision.

this guy kinda makes me think of me waiting to go to italy...
