I’m finally going on a honeymoon with New Husband. We’re going to Tuscany for a week and I’ve been busy – dreading the long plane ride, possible airport delays, planes waiting hours just to take off, etc. Thoughts of gelato and Chianti meeting me at the end of the road (plane ride) couldn’t cheer me up – until I loaded Fair Game and Heroin Diaries to my Sony Reader. Layovers be damned, I am ready to go! A book the CIA doesn’t want me to read? Brilliant. Reading anything having to do with Motley Crue? IN.

The other e-related thing helping me on this trip is eAudio. I’m notoriously fussy if I don’t know a) where my next snack is coming from, b) contents of said snack, c) where a bathroom is located, and d) how to ask for my shoe size. When I went to Paris, the only thing I ate was Burger King (un Whopper avec fromage, petit frites, un Coke Light). However, Pimsleur 30 minutes a day has taken care of half my worries (c & d) for me in one short month! I love that I am actually learning a new language. I think I missed the day (or three years) that they taught Spanish in High School, but this no-book, audio only method is absolutely sinking in.

Arriverderci!
