Piacere, Italy, sono Yoko!

One day, I thought...How about traveling to Italy?
It's rediculius becasue, A) I haven't been abroad ever. B) I was an English teacher but never been to English speaking country like the U.S. or England. C) Why my first foreign country to visit should be Italy?
I don't know but I love Italian food like pizza, pasta and rasagna, and I really think Italian scenery seems beautiful and worth while visiting! What if I have a chance to visit Italy when I am too old to eat that oily meals and I can't travel a lot to see many beautiful places?
So, dreaming to travel to Italy up until I will become 55years old, I started to plan traveling to Italy.

1) Budjet
I am a part time working mom with two kids. One will be a junior high school student, the other will be a grade school student...in two years. My salary is not so high and I am a part time worker. So first of all, I have to find good full time work to earn enough money to save for my traveling!

2) Purpose
This will be a big event in my life. So I should have good purposes in order to enjoy my stay. So I will brainstorm my thought on my trip to Italy.
When I travel to Italy, I'd like to...
     eat tasty pizza and pasta.
     eat delicious sweets.
     visit God Father shooting spot.
     visit Sisily.
     meet someone I'd like to meet.
     find pretty shoes for myself.
     take many pictures in there.

3) How long?
I have two kids and a husband...I have to think of them if I will do something for myself. I have a responsibility as a parent and a house mom. So if I travel to Italy, I have to be careful when I plan to go traveling there. But if I have nothing to worry about my scheduling, I'd love to stay there more than 2 weeks. If I should bring my kids there...I'd love to stay there for a week...But of course it depends on my budget.

So, I don't know if I can visit Italy, or not...but I started to learn Italian. (continue)
