a couple of months ago I wanted to have it all figured out.
Now, I’m leaving in three days and haven’t even looked for a weather forecast. Can anybody tell me what clothes to pack? How dressed-up do I need to be?
Tomorrow is the day for my mid-course exams. It feels like I just started school, but evidently I’m halfway there now…
and I still haven’t exchanged my money, or even gotten them into my account, but at least I have brought them home to avoid a situation like the one I have dreamed about, where I get to the airport only to discover that I have forgotten all my money in my school locker.
I need to buy toothpaste for the trip. and fried onions. got the remouladsås this morning!
Bandaid! Do you think I need bandaid? Mom always told me to never go anywhere without bandaid. But why would I need it?
oh, don’t worry. I’ll be fine. I’ll sleep now. :shock:
Listen to your Mother on the Bandaids as you’ll never know when you will need them. I have this leather case to carry my comb, brush, razor, etc. from the 60′s and every time we go on vacation my Wife is after me about some of the useless junk that I have in it. One item a bunch of Bandaids came in real handy last summer on vacation. My Wife had bought a pair of shoes, in Firenze, that she couldn’t resist wearing right after she bought them. Well, three guesses as to what she was looking for when we got back to our hotel. Have a great time at the GTG!!! My Wife & I hope to get there later in June or early July.
Weather and temoperatures are very shifty. On Sunday here in Milano it was over 30 degrees and very sultry; yesterday it turned about 20 and humidly cool, at about 9 pm we had a very violent rain downpour that lasted the exact amount of time for a friend of mine to walk from the subway to hom: as soon as he was indoors the rain stopped; today it’s warmer and bright, the sky is unusually blue and the sun is hot, but there is a strong cool wind (I had dry leaves in my hair 8-/).
Dress onion-layered (useful Italian phrase: “fai la cipolla”) with cotton pants and a t-shirt, a cotton pullover and a scarf or shawl, or a warmer pullover for the evening. Bring a pair of sansals and a pair of shoes, just in case. If it really gets cool, you could waer both pulls at the same time for extra warmth. If it gets warm, you have the t-shirt. Don’t forget sunscreen cream: up there you have lots of daylight hours right now, but the sun is usually far more filtered by air (it’s lower on the horizon). Here at noon it can be quite perpendicular, less filtered and therefore hotter and more likely to burn you up.
oh, sounds like Swedish summer at its best: Shifting. Be prepared for anything. Well, I think I can do that!
Ciao, piccola Annika! Fai la cipolla is perfect advice from Alice… I nearly got frostbite being outside last night here (an hour from GTG), and tonight it’s been chucking down rain. Forecast is supposed to be warmer and sunny this weekend, but on a mount it’ll still be chill when the wind shifts. We’re not a fancy gang in general here, this is “country casual” — you won’t need to bring your high fashion unless you’re prowling high street in Milano!
Buon viaggio, piccolo passerotto!!! Ci vediamo prestissimo!!
What…no high fashion!!! Oh well just have to wear my usual scruffy clothes then :0)
