The Vatican & Sistine Chapel

I just booked my Vatican & Sistine Chapel guided tour!
I understand you can wait in lines forever in July to get in there, so
was advised to book up to 2 months ahead to be sure of admittance.
Since I will be in Rome on a weekend, I thought it would be especially important. I will do this tour on Saturday then explore the Coloseum, etc. On Sunday I will observe Mass at St. Peter's Basilica!

Getting so excited & BUSY

Now is the time for final preparations!  
I need to make my list today of things to take care of before it leave on June 20. This weekend I am packing up my classroom, for the most part, & moving my things into the sewing room portion of the home ec. suite on the far side of campus.  EXHAUSTED!  I woke up at 3:30 a.m. yesterday thinking of all I had  to do, so of course I did not go back to sleep.  I was at school at 6 a.m.  I had about
an hour break mid-afternoon then continued until 5 p.m. Still more to do, but most is done.  HOORAH


Other tasks: YMCA memebership of hold, stop mail & newspaper,  review my packing, clean the house, have dog visit his summer homestay ;-) , meetings for my new job, make
sure the school gardens will be watered over summer, party with my sisters...
oh, and grading my students work to!  That is what Memorial Day is for.


With all this I keep thinking forward to this trip & the delights that must be in store.  That is so exciting.  I also know things can go wrong.  My travel insurance folks & a few friends
will help me through any emergencies that may arise I am sure.


Might not post again for a couple of weeks.  As you can see, I am BUSY :-)  Happy busy!
