Airports are so boring if you are in them by yourself. What is there to do? So I'm sat alone in an overpriced fast food outlet, drinking overpriced lemonade to keep myself awake. At least it's working.
Thankfully they have free wifi. What would we do without that! At least this is providing some entertainment. And enabling me to write my first blog post.
This summer promises to be possibly my best summer yet. Au pairing for three months in Italy may sound like a chore for some but I am totally looking forward to it. The family I'm staying with are so nice and lovely and genuinely excited to have me over. They are even taking me on holiday with them to Tuscany. I feel so incredibly lucky.
The plane flight should be okay it's only two hours which is nice though Italy is an hour ahead so I kind of lose three hours. On the plus side on the way back I lose an hour so closer to bedtime! But that's a long way away - three months in fact!
I'm going to try and lean Italian it would be silly not to. It's a lovely language and I already know a bit, some if the basics: ciao, Arrivederci, buongiorno, grazie. Enough to help me get by for now anyway.
Why is everyone so loud at the airport? I know they must be excited for their holidays or whatever but it's like 5 in the morning!!! They should be half asleep. Like me.
I will try and keep this blog updated as I'm in Italy to keep everyone posted on what I'm doing. Have a fun summer guys!
My overpriced drink. £2.15 for a regular! Airport prices stink.
Hey Maria, when are you in Tuscany? If you're in Tuscany when Ellen is over there with her school music dept concert tour you could check them out... or not. Enjoy your visit. So exciting.
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm there from July 26th for a week. When is Ellen over there and which part of Tuscany?
DeleteYou'll miss her then. She's there 17-23, I don't think she's disappointed though. She seemed highly embarrassed at the prospect! July 17th.
ReplyDeleteShe'll be visiting Pisa, Lucca, Forte dei Marmi, Corsanico, Arezzo, Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and Montecatini Terme, and has lots of concerts.
