So today is my last day in Florence, which appeared very suddenly. This past week, the day after Aunt Dee and Eileen left, we left for a four day trip to Mantua and Verona. When we returned from Verona at 3:30pm, Seth's brother, Tory, and his partner, Melissa, arrived at our doorstep at 4:00pm. They spent a long weekend with us and they departed yesterday at noon. Last night was the I Tatti farewell dinner, and I leave for the US tomorrow at 7:50am. I am spending my precious day packing, doing last-minute sightseeing (we had a 12:00 reservation at the Brancacci Chapel this afternoon), fighting off the heatwave, petting Lorenzo, and I am just about to head out to see Claudia one last time. I wish I had another day (or week!) to enjoy the city and relax, but I suppose I can relax when I arrive in Raleigh (after my cousin's wedding in Colorado) next week.
For now, I must figure out how to pare down my luggage as much as possible (down to 30kg, including carry-on baggage) and come up with a game plan in case I miss any of my connecting flights tomorrow (I am on three separate itineraries!!!). Wish me luck!
