Sitting at work, while dreaming of vacation.

I'm sitting at lunch and I'm realizing that concentrating on work will never be more difficult than this week, before my trips.

I mean, freakin A, I am going to Italy!!! Do you realize how many people only dream of this kind of trip?? Anyway, not trying to gloat, I'm just still in awe that in 8 short days I'm hopping the pond.

Funny story from this past weekend: I downloaded the google translator, and I was importing common phrases so I would have a few things to stay set. Nelson heard me talking to my phone several versions of the same question and he asked me what I was doing. I explained that I was trying to figure out the easiest sentence to ask someone where the closest metro station was because the translations were all coming out too long:
Dove si tropa blah blah stazione della metropolitana etc.
With the straightest face ever, he said, Babe, don't you think that if you ask someone "Metro?" that they will know what you mean?
I instantly felt like an idiot and we laughed about that for about 20 minutes.
So. No more convoluted sentences. Time for short concise "hey I'm an American but I'm trying" questions. LMAO

More later
