yippeeeeee!

Got my reservation for the excavations tour underneath St. Peter's Basilica! Lucky me! I'm very excited, it should be cool. The email confirmation says it's not a tour for people who are claustrophobic. Eep. Well I'm not, so I should be OK? LOL.

I decided to get 50 euros and 50 pounds to arrive with. The exchange rates stateside are awful but what can you do. People on messageboards suggest just waiting til you arrive to get your money from an ATM but my gosh, I can't imagine traveling with NO cash for the place I'm arriving......justincase. So, I ordered it online. How odd is it that you can order cash online as if it's a purchase. They're being a bitch though because I have bar review classes and they require that *I* am the only one who is allowed to sign for it. Ok it makes sense since it is cash inside the package, but still. paaaaaaaaaaaaaaainnnnnnnnnnnn.

I got cute Crocs sandals..... but I hope they end up being comfy. I didn't realize they might not be so good til I wore them outside, so I'm stuck with them. All I'm really worried about is blisters - I know my feet are gonna hurt no matter what. So we'll see.

Ordered my international SIM card for the phone Alina lent me. That should come soon, hopefully it works!

Gathering lots of restaurant recommendations and the like from the amazing tripadvisor message boards. got the best pizza places in rome and not-so-outrageous places in Copenhagen, good places in Florence, etc. It's nice when the recommendations come from the people who actually live there, especially in the really touristy cities!
