It's coming!
Chris and I leave for Europe in approximately three days. I am starting to panic a little bit. I am not worried about spending two weeks with Chris (that part excites me), but I am worried that I won't get any sleep while I am there. I am a really light sleeper under the best possible conditions, and I can never get a good night's rest when I am on vacation, so there really isn't much hope for me. This wouldn't be such a big deal except for the fact that if I don't get enough rest, after about two days I will get extremely sick. it's starts as a sore throat, but within a few hours (no joke) of the first symptoms, it has usually turned into a full blown sinus infection (such a fun thing to travel with), strep throat, or toncilitis. I got a prescription for Ambien CR, but it is literally only 14 pills, the exact number of days we will be traveling. This worries me. What if I run out? What if they don't work? I can't really test them out before we leave or I won't have enough for the trip. This is the only thing that I am worried about.
So, if anyone has any suggestions for me, I would be glad to hear them!
In more positive trip-related news, a friend of mine from college made this amazing, pocket-sized travel guide to Italy (she studied abroad there and speaks Italian very well). Not only is it extremely helpful, it is also adorable. Plus, it came in the mail today (or yesterday) and got me all excited to leave on Thursday. Yay!
I probably won't update before I leave, but I will definitely post something comprehensive when I get back, with pictures!

I'm glad you like it. :)
I never have problems sleeping any more, so I don't have any good recommendations there other than sleep aids (Benadryl is all I need). However, if you do start to feel sick, go to a farmacia and buy Aspirina-C. It's this effervescent medicine that doesn't taste particularly good, but it will help with cold-type illness. I was sick half my time in Italy, and it helped a lot.
Enjoy your trip!
