Pre-departure

I'm into my last few days stateside. I leave for Munich on the 26th and will be traveling pre-program from March 1 through March 17. I've "finalized" my itinerary for those couple of weeks (this has been a massively drawn out, indecisive process). It looks something like this:

Arrive in Munich on February 27th. Lay low and recover from jet lag until March 1, which is when my train pass becomes valid (!).

Head to Paris (jet-lag and all) to visit Jessica from March 1 through 5.

Night train to Tuscany, arriving March 6. I'll be going to Siena to sate my urban-design-classes inspired curiousity.

Leave for Rome on March 7. Arrive midday, plan to wander, get lost, and see cool stuff.

of course, an edit: Head for Matera via Bari (southeast Italy) on March 11. Stay in Matera for three night, Brindisi for two. Make day trips to nearby towns.

Return Munich-ways on a night train from Bari on the 16th. Settle in to my new room on the 17th. The JYM program orientation starts on the 18th!

This is a really farflung itinerary, but hopefully it will go off relatively well. I really couldn't decide on a more compact area to explore.

That's it for now! I'll post something new when I get computer access somewhere along my travels.
