Check out the newest blog that I have added under the blogroll. An architect in New York shares his experience of Venice with you. Wednesday is the deadline for arranging your travel plans for your return home. Make sure that Stephanie knows when you want to return to Los Angeles. Dr. Dru and I are staying beyond the 30th of May and I know some of you may also have plans to extend your trips. We are close to confirming the flights. Ciao tutti!

Ciao, tutti! Study Abroad has made reservations for us in Florence — we’ll be staying at the Hotel Lombardi, about 15 minutes from the Uffizi and the cathedral, according to its website.

Barring last-minute changes, the room division will be 5 twins, 1 triple (gentlemen, that’s probably yours….) and two singles (professorial dibs!). And best of all, it says it has wi-fi…!

And in case you’ve forgotten, we’ve rented the three floors of the gorgeous-looking Palazzo degli Angeli for the duration of our stay in Venice. Remember that it’s not a hotel but a bunch of apartments, so you won’t get maid and restaurant service while were in Venice.

Our next step will be to reserve the plane tickets and start buying museum and train tickets….
