i have $72.80 in my Italy fund. now it may not seem impressive, but it's all comprised of spare change i've toss in a jar over the years, and considering i rarely have cash on me, it's something that i managed to ever have spare change at all. i like to think that i will fund my entire trip on spare change, just to show it can be done, but at the rate i'm going i don't think i'll get to Italy til i'm about 134 and the odds of me living that long are slim i suppose. at least i have more money saved than my age. i recall being around 33 and only having about $27. so having enough to actually pay for the cab ride to the airport is a start. i imagine it's enough to actually tip the driver as well.
why Italy you wonder? i'm not entirely sure. i love food and wine and well, it certainly seems like they have that down to a science. i saw some photos from there once and it seems quite lovely. i often try to learn a word in Italian now and then but honestly i never remember them for long (in which case i suppose i can't really call them "learned"). there's something magical about it to me, i just want to go there one day. i mean everyone wants to go somewhere one day, right? what kind of human would i be if i didn't have my dream vacation in my head? so Italy it is, and if i'm lucky, within a year i'll also save enough for the airline luggage fees too.
