Going on a vacation?
Post about it here!

I am going to be studying for a semester at the University of Bologna in Italy. I'm leaving tomorrow night and won't be back in the old USA for several months. I am being put up in a hotel for 2 weeks but then I need to find an apartment or place to live in. My university in the States requires that all of my classes taken abroad be taught in the native tongue. Io posso parlare l'Italiano, ma non bene. So its going to be a really craze trying to adjust to a new culture and language and doing school stuff at the same time.

If anyone swings through Bologna feel free to look me up. I also plan on travelling around Europe when I have the free time. Somehow I doubt I'll make it to Sweden (bit far away)... so I won't be able to meet the infamous Terracosmo or any of you other nutty Swedes.

At first I was going to post this in one of the "Goodbye" threads, but those seem to be members' personal goodbyes and I don't really want to infringe on those. And then I got to thinking, I'm probably not going to say "Goodbye", because I'm not really leaving Gotwoot forever (don't look so disappointed!), so a "Goodbye" thread would be silly.

Then again.... I'm not going on vacation either... I'm actually taking a semester to study abroad. Still, well, you get the general point. Figure this thread might become a place for discussion of travel plans and maybe a way for Gotwoot members to rendezvous with each other.
