And I’m a little sad about that, not gonna lie. You haven’t even spoken to me since July. Haven’t I been a better friend to you than that?! Well, I guess I’m off to go be by myself. With luv, Your blog. Dearest Brian,

There are big home improvement stores in all of the larger towns (Brico Center, for one) that sell it by the roll or as pull down setups that you install. You definitely need something to get through Summer, though! The mosquitoes will eat you alive. Hi John, it’s a good thought but bug screen is fairly common over here.

Because really, where else could you wear them and look totally stylish but there. I think what one mostly needs in Italy is really just a pair of tight white jeans.

I’ll start packing now. The thing I need most is a son who speaks the language and is a great cook and can take care of me in the way that I am accustomed. Great stuff to know.

Most laptops can handle 220V so all you’ll need is a little plug adapter like what I linked to in my post. Good point, I’ve updated the post.

I know the U.S. and Italy use different wattages (is that a word?). Anyway, you know what I mean! :) What about mentioning one of those handy dandy electric converters if you bring something like, say, a laptop over?
