June 24th-25th, 2010 End of Counting...the Days Until We FINALLY GOT ON THE PLANE!

24 Hours of traveling to get from Statesboro, Georgia to Montepulciano via Frankfurt, ending our journey with a magical bus driver who could navigate a 55 passenger charter bus on hairpin turns like I've never seen before.  Didn't know buses could bend...

42 Students, 4 Faculty, 1 Director in the Montepulciano, Italy Study Abroad Program Part Two (another 40 students came in Part One May to June) = 80+ students from Georgia that are now part of a rare elite:  aka, luckiest college students in the USA...

Family of Four:  Carter4 take another journey....best parenting Greg and I have done was to teach our children to love travel.

"Our road will be smooth and untroubled no matter what care life may send; if we travel the pathway together, and walk side by side with a friend."--Henry Van Dyke

  1. So glad you guys made it! We've been thinking about you!! You 'guys' will have an amazing time. Can't wait to read all about it.

    “Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.” – Cesare Pavese
