Off to my roots....

My sister, who is studying in Milan this fall, is giving my family an opportunity/excuse to visit our heritage. I have always wanted to go to Italy. A, because it is such a beautiful, cultured country, but also, because that's where my Dad's family is from. I was supposed to go several years ago, but plans had to change. I am very fortunate and excited to have this opportunity come up again. I am so excited!!! I have talked to so many people that have given great advice from experience on places to go, things to see and do and how to do it. I must say I am going into this with it as a surprise... my sister and parents planned the whole trip and I am excited to be going along for the ride :)

I just found out our flight time tomorrow if that tells you anything as to my knowledge of plans. When so many things are going on, it is hard to get excited ahead of time because I don't even realize it is so close. I think I realized it yesterday and was thrilled. Then today was crazy tying things up with Just Perfect!, Chloe, and everything in Wilmington, then bringing my car down to Greensboro to have some work done... now, after packing, getting the final emails sent out, and newsletters scheduled...I am getting anxious! I am hoping now that I'll be able to sleep (this is often a problem when the next day holds an exciting event) as we have an early morning and a long day of traveling ahead.

We will be landing in Milan, where Rebecca will be living. After spending a few days there, we will take the train to Rome...then Venice, Verona, and ending up back in Milan. Ahhh.... the food, the art, the architecture... I really cannot even imagine the experiences we are about to encounter. I know that the books do not do it justice. The photos of my parents previous trip were beautiful, but I am sure not able to be compared to the actual experience. I can't wait and will of course, take lots and lots of photos and will share when I return.

If you need to speak with us at Just Perfect, you can email and call our main numbers and will be directed to the contact information of our Interior Specialist, Rebecca Mickler.

I will try to twitter/facebook when I can, so follow me if you want to keep up! Twitter: Just_Perfect; facebook fan page: Just Perfect!

I'll see you back here in a couple weeks!
