Time to party

The weeks between my accepting the job in Honolulu and leaving Italy, which would be scheduled for the 1st of January, 2008, were filled with trips to the bar with friends to have last get-togethers. Trouble was that there were many friends thus many get-togethers, hence lots of drinking for me. It was an intense time full of emotion, but I remained calm and happy and sure about the move and the new life. Chapters end and new ones begin and it was time to turn the page, but not forget friendships forged and memories of good times in Italy. I promised myself that a part of me would remain first of all European and secondly Italian, as the times there have made me a better person on so many levels.
