So much to do, so little time...

In two weeks we leave for Rome. Our to-do list is growing by the minute. Check out our Top 5:

1. Confirm reservations.
We did a lot of research to stay within our budget of $100 per night. Stay tuned for reviews!

2. Prioritize packing list.
We bought Osprey travel backpacks in an effort to limit how much we pack. Justin's 2 pairs of wash-as-you-go underwear will free up at least 2150 of the 4300 cubic inches in his bag!

3. Lay in a supply of OTC meds.
Since we'll be 5000 miles from home and our mamas, we want to cover our bases in the event of minor illness or aches and pains.

4. Download City Navigator Europe for the Garmin.
For $149.99, we will have access to 1.7 million points of interest and 8.5 million kilometers of road coverage throughout Europe. In the long run, it is the small price to pay to ensure that we end up in the right places at the right times!

5. Brush up on Italian and French.
By "brush up on," I mean start from scratch. You know, the fundamental phrases: Where is the bathroom? We are lost. The cheese is old and moldy.
