The beginning....

I lie here in bed with my cat Dublin laying across my chest asleep taking in the first few minutes of a new day. It seems the perfect start to my blog. I'm new to this whole blogging thing, yet a few of my friends have shared their sites with me.

So why now, you're guessing? This summer I am off on my next great adventure which leads me to Malawi, Africa for 5 weeks. Thus, the title of my blog- la vita di una bella avventura, which means "life is a beautiful adventure" in Italian. If you don't know me, you are probably wondering, why the heck would she title her blog in Italian when she is going to Africa? Well, life is a vast adventure of twists and turns. It doesn't just encompass one adventure. So with the hope that I keep up with blogging, this will prove to not only contain my adventures in Africa, but throughout life.

I hope you enjoy this and that it keeps you all informed while I am away!!
