Ahh this is getting exciting!
How is everyone getting from the airport to the hotel?? Im getting someone to pick me up..not sure how that goes will have to find out…but thats the part im scared about!
Im staying in a share room so im thinking maybe they might put us in the same rooms if ppl are doing the same tour? though i could be wrong.
I can not wait to see the Colosseum!
My mum went when she was bout 21 and I have a pic she took form inside it and i want one to match! but i really cant wait to see everything! also venice and do the boat rides!- 0 people like this

I think its like 112 days maybe?lol
Im taking about $4500…if i can save that much more between now and then :S How are you all taking that? in cash or card?
It said to budget between 75-100 Euro a day so that should be fine..i hope..im taking a credit card for back up though
