Scuba Diving around the Islands

First I'm going to let you know what a bucket list is. The bucket list is an event or vacation that people may want to do. People may go to the event or go on the vacation when they are in college or when they are married and have kids. People have a bucket list because they might want to go to Hawaii for a vacation and go skydiving for an event.

Specifically, my bucket list is to go to Australia and Hawaii and scuba dive in those places. The best place to go scuba diving in Australia is Cairns. “It is one of the best places to go scuba diving in the world” because it is near the Great Barrier Reef “A huge and endless place to discover”. The Great Barrier Reef is by the Island Queensland. When you are scuba diving there you can see Sharks, Sea Turtles, Giant Grouper, Whales and Dolphins. Portland is 12,995 kilometers from Australia. There is a place in Hawaii that is good for scuba diving. Kealakekua Bay, Hawaii is a big island located 40 miles south of Kailua-Kona. The Bay is calm and has a lot of marine life. It is surrounded by big cliffs, and is the best place to snorkel and scuba dive in Hawaii. Portland is 2,573 Miles from Hawaii.

Lastly, I plan on going sometime in my high school years to go to Australia with my family, but I plan on going to Hawaii whenever me and my family can go. My family is already saving up to go to Australia, but we have not started to save up for Hawaii.  When I go I will need to know what time of year is the best time to go. I will cross these two events off my bucket list before I kick the bucket. I have many more events on my bucket list then those two, but those are my two main events.

I got the facts from http://divezone.net/diving/australia, and http://www.gohawaii.com/en/statewide/guidebook/underwater-world-of-hawaii/

The Spectacular Swimmer

To begin with Jill Shulze is a student at sunridge and has a passion for swimming . She likes cats and has a big fear of the dark . Also when Jill gets older she wants to write a book and publish it she wishes to become a famous author someday.

    As time passed I asked Jill how have she improved from last year to this year. She said she has improved by focusing on the whole stroke instead of focusing on little parts at a time so that she will improve more and more as she works on it. I asked about her favorite swimming stroke and she said it is the back stroke because it is the first stroke she ever learned at the age of three. A back stroke is a stroke performed on the back with the arms lifted alternately out of the water in a backward circular motion and the legs extended and kicking. Jill said she started swimming at a very young age and she stated It runs in her blood so her parents got her started in swimming and she just fell in love with it. Her brother and sisters all swim so she wants to try to keep it in the family from generation to generation.

          Later she said she is going to try her hardest at practice and definitely go to bed earlier so that she will be all rested up for her next practice or meet. I also wanted to know if she helps her fellow swimmers out or do you just let the coaches help with that, and she responded with a yes she does help all the swimmers out by watching each other's strokes and pointing out what they have done good and what they need to work on also she watches their forms for their dives and points out the right and wrong to get better. I asked her what does success in the pool look like to you she said it's not all about the speed but pushing yourself to your limits and having a beautiful stroke.

Jill Schulze is the second one to the left in the green
tank top.

     Next, things that Jill dislikes about swimming is the summer hours are too early in the morning for practice while she is up already everyone else is asleep and she wishes to be like that sometimes. She has to get up at 5:00 am for practice but meet hours are better. She also hates when their team is practicing and people will skip some of the things that the whole team is supposed to be doing and then when someone confronts them they lie about it. One of the biggest pressures she has to deal with during her swim meets is the relays when her team really wants to win so all the pressure gets put on her so she pushes herself extra hard, mainly just to beat her own time so that she can do better and achieve a win for the team. 
Some things she does to deal with the pressure at swim meets is she goes to the warm up pool to calm herself down and for a quick stretch or she will play cards and color with her swim buddies to relieve the stress. Jill practices for 2 hours a day in the summer and for about 10 hours a week plus she teaches the ‘fishies’, little kids that are just learning how to swim.

           In all Jill Schulze is a very excellent swimmer even though she says swimming is more like a hobby then a career for her. It does take most of her time up, but it's something she loves to do in her free time and just for fun. She said she will keep swimming till the end of high school then go and start off with a career.

 

         

Falling from the Sky

Do you know what a bucket list is? Well if you don't it's a list of things a person wants to do before they die. Some people use bucket lists to make sure their life is filled with fun and exciting activities.

Something I would like to do is go skydiving. In Oregon you have to be 16 with parents written permission. Skydiving costs between $100-250. When in freefall the wind is well over 100 mph which makes you deaf to other skydivers. The world's oldest person to skydive is Fred Mack who is 100 years old. In 2013 only 24 people have died while skydiving. The first step I'm going to take is to save about $300 and then purchase a jump over Pendleton, Oregon. There are many skydiving businesses out there.

So now you know what the most important thing on my bucket list is, so go out there and make your own. Make sure your life is lived to the fullest and have fun!

Local Baker

Today I interviewed a local baker and director of Umatilla County Community Justice , Mark Royal. His hobbies are playing music and baking bread.The reason I chose Mark was because his job is in the same field as my career goals. He says the reason he likes his job is because has the opportunity to help people and build friendships.

Mark says the reason he chose the job was because it is a government job and he wanted a good retirement. He explained that there's a good amount of job opportunities in criminal justice. Mark is responsible for parole and probation on both the adult and juvenile side. From  the information i've gathered he is a busy man.

I asked what the most interesting thing that has happened to him on the job and he said probably interaction with other people. Do you have a daily schedule I asked? He then told me how some days he is going to meetings, and he also sets goals for the department and manages employees. He said his advice for a juvenile pursuing this career was to make sure and get a college education in criminal justice and volunteer.

After talking to Mark it makes me want to pursue becoming a parole and probation officer and with that information it will give juveniles an idea on what a job in criminal justice is like.

Bucket List? Lots of people have them but what are they? A  bucket list is a list of achievements or accomplishments that a person wants to achieve in a lifetime. They call it a bucket list because people  have a saying if they're going to have the buckets kicked, you are going to die. People have a bucket list because they want to do things that most people might not have a chance to do in a lifetime. For example, a good amount of people want to go to the Grand Canyon because it is one amazing geography feature to see. Most people can have a bucket list of anywhere between one to infinity. I have a few things on mine as well. The one I am going to talk about is very interesting. I chose these places because they are truly amazing places.

picture link

Some day I would like see the eight wonders of the world. The eight wonders are 1. Taj Mahal, India 2. Giza Necropolis, Egypt 3. Petra, Jordan 4. Colosseum, Italy 5. Chichen Itza, Mexico 6. Machu Picchu, Peru 7. Great Wall of China, China {8. Christ the Redeemer, Brazil.} I would some day like to visit these places because, someday I want to be a Social Studies teacher and I am very interested, especially in Christ the Redeemer, in Rio de Janeiro. Christ the Redeemer interests me because it's 98 ft tall, on a 26 ft wide pedestal, arms 92 ft wide and 700 short. The statue is located on the Corcovado Mountain in the Tijuca Forest, the Corcovado Mt. is roughly 2,300 ft tall. The statue is a symbol of Brazilian Christianity; it has become an icon for the amazing city of Rio de Janeiro it was built  between 1922 and 1931, created by a French sculptor Paul Landowski. The statue was completed in 1931 October 12. Christ the Redeemer is a amazing statue; it symbolizes that Christ loves all people. Visiting this place is definitely in my future but achieving it will take some time and patience for the plan to come together, money.

Some other interesting information is in 2010 it was vandalized by being spray painted. The building material is soap stone and reinforced concrete, and it came from Sweden. The statue was struck by lightning in 2008 but not much was hurt due to the soapstone which acted as an insulator but, however the smaller parts fingers eyebrows got a little damaged. I plan to achieve this by the time I am 25. It is 6,819 miles from Portland, Oregon so I plan to start accumulating money once I am out of high school. I also plan to take Spanish in high school. This will affect me in the way that I will have a better understanding of culture and faith. Traveling to this place will help me as a social studies teacher in the way that I will have a better understanding of history.

Death-Defying Bucket list

link

A bucket list is always fun to make and it helps you create amazing experiences in your life.  A bucket list is a list of things that you want to do or accomplish in your life.  People might have a list  because it helps to keep track of your goals and it helps you get them all done.  I want to go cliff diving because my mom went and she said it was amazing and scary but the rush was worth it.
Before you go cliff diving you are going to want to gather some good information.  Cliff diving can be very dangerous if you do no not pick the right place to do it. Bruises, broken bones, compressed spine, dislocated joints, injured discs, paralysis and death are among the injuries that cliff divers experience.  Some of the best places to go cliff diving are; Kimberly Australia, Brontallo Switzerland, Negril Jamaica, etc.  In Kimberley Australia the best places are inland. You will be diving in lakes surrounded by gorges, waterfalls and mountain peaks.  While Brontallo Switzerland has more of the death-defying activities so its only natural that they have 80-feet cliff diving opportunities, and they even have hosted several World High Diving Federation Championships. While Negril Jamaica is easy spot for locals to dive, many tourists have been hurt.  However, with a little bit of precaution, these crystal-clear waters make it well worth the risk. 
Although cliff diving can be very dangerous these amazing spots make the risks worth it.  If you are prepared then it makes the risk a lot less. So before you go out to do your activity on your bucket list do lots of research and it might help you achieve it faster.  Doing something that you have always wanted to do will help you in the future because then you know that you can do anything if you put your mind to it.  I plan to try this in the next few years because I am visiting Death Valley soon.  My family still has lots of work to be able to go cliff diving but we are closer to get another thing checked off my bucket list.

Wanted Dreams

link

Have you ever really wanted to do something really bad? Or maybe it's something that you want like a fancy car or something like that. If you have, maybe you should consider a bucket list. A bucket list is a list of things that you want to get or do before you die. People make these lists because they really want to do them. If you make a bucket list you can cross things off as soon as you do them, and you can always add to it. This list is yours; it's not like an assignment at school or work where it has to be about a certain thing or in a particular form. You can make it however you want and about whatever you want.

On my bucket list the most important item is to travel to Paris, France. I would like to go to Paris because I have always wanted to see the 126 year old landmark, the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower stands at 1,050 feet tall and was the tallest man-made structure in the world for forty one years until 1928 when the Chrysler building was built in New York. The Eiffel Tower weighs 10,100 metric tons and was assembled from 18,000 parts. Every 7 years the Eiffel Tower gets repainted and it takes 25 painters roughly 18 months to repaint the entire Tower! That's a year and a half! Another cool fact about the Tower is that it's elevators combined distance equals 2.5 trips around the earth and more than 64,000 miles. As you can see the Eiffel Tower has many interesting facts, but it's not the only thing on my list. I would also like to visit Hawaii during Christmas, go scuba diving, and sky diving.

Just like going to the Eiffel Tower, you should find some things that you would really like to do or buy and put it on your list. Even if it's something you just thought of or if it's been a dream of yours your whole life put it on your list. It doesn’t matter how you make your list just get started!

Something You've Never Thought Of

Link for photo

Have you ever thought about making a bucket list ? Well you probably don't know what a bucket list is; so a bucket list is a list of ideas you want to do before you leave this world. I have decided to tell you guys what my bucket list is so that you can get an idea of what's out there in this big world of ours.            

The first thing on my bucket list is to go to Madagascar. One of the reasons I would like to go there is I want to see the talking animals from the movie Madagascar, just kidding, I want to go there to see the island and to see what it actually looks like, and see the real wildlife. One of the animals I would like to see is a Red-fluffed Lemur, then after I look at all the wildlife I can find, I will go explore the island as much as I can before leaving. This will lead me into traveling around the world. For my last trip I'm planning to go the Bermuda Triangle when I'm a lot older. So now you know one of the possibilities out in the big world, but there are many more. 

For this trip I will need to plan when the best time to go is, how much the plane ticket costs, If I’m going to take anyone else, how long I will stay there and figure out how long I would be away from my family. I will also need to start raising money so then I can make this dream come true. For this trip I will need to save up to $1669 just for the plane tickets, $200 for food and at least $1000 for the hotel I'm staying at.

So go out there and make your bucket list. Figure out what you need to do to accomplish it, and then go have fun and be safe. Live life to the fullest.

Fisheye View

A bucket list is a list of things one wants to do or accomplish during their lifetime, or before a certain age. Bucket lists usually require a lot of steps and goals before you can accomplish them. Generally people make these lists because there is something in their life that they truly want to do and admire greatly. They can be something little like river rafting, or even something as big as skydiving, or swimming with dolphins. Those are just a few examples, but as most people know there are thousands and thousands of options in this world. There are tons of things I have on my bucket list, and I hope I can accomplish most of them. But there is one that really sticks out to me, and it is definitely one I will have to do at some point, and that is scuba diving in Hawaii. I just love the ocean, and I think it would be an amazing experience to actually go underwater and see all of the plants and animals right in front of me, it would be sort of like a fisheye view.

Scuba Diving is not just a form of underwater diving, but instead of diving just holding your breath or having tubes connected to the surface, you actually have breathing gas in a tank underneath the water that you carry around with you. This is a good thing about scuba diving because if you just dive when holding your breath you will eventually have to come back up for more air. I’m not saying you wouldn’t have to if you had scuba gear,but you would just have to resurface a lot more. Scuba diving would be an amazing thing to do anywhere, but I have chosen a specific place that I would like to do it, and that is in Oahu, Hawaii. The reason is because the water is so clear and blue. There are many amazing plants and animals to see under the water there, and there are also a few places to actually go to and people will take you diving.

Unfortunately, I can't just get on a plane and fly to Hawaii and go scuba diving. There is a lot more steps to do before I can actually accomplish this. I will first earn money to buy an airplane ticket to go there. Then I will find all of the required material to actually go diving, earn money, and get the supplies and other items I need. This may take awhile, but hopefully I will be able to do this as soon as possible. I can't wait to go to Hawaii, and go scuba diving, and just experience the gorgeous underwater land, and life from a "fisheye view."

Dream of the Runway

A bucket list is a list of things that one wants to experience or achieve in their lifetime before they “kick the bucket” or in other words pass away. Many people have a bucket list to remind themselves of their goals in life. Something on their bucket list might be small like collecting each states quarter to something big like traveling the world. I’d have to say one major thing on my bucket list would be getting signed to a modeling agency, although I don't expect to be the next Tyra Banks or anything of course. Tyra Banks was one of the top earning models of the early 2000’s and is one of the “Victoria’s Secret” original angels. I know that rising to this won’t be easy but I’m willing to put up a fight to prove everyone wrong. After all, you have to fail in order to succeed.

I guess I've always been interested in modeling.. I love to watch “Americas Next Top Model” ironically hosted by Tyra Banks. Also I just love the way that a photographer catches the models beauty along with their surroundings. Two years back while visiting my dad down in Phoenix, Arizona a lady that worked and modeled with a John Casablancas center told me I had real beauty and that my aura was glowing and powerful or something like that. She gave me their website along with her phone number if I had any questions. I think that a part of me inside me realized that thats what I wanted. It would be so amazing to have that experience. Posing for the camera shots I imagine feels amazing and gives you much confidence. I guess I won’t know until I try!

I still have so much researching and preparing to do if I really want to cross this one off the bucket list, I know that. I need to commit physically and mentally and am slowly working on that. Starting out with getting in shape for example. If all goes as planned I will most likely be moving to a bigger city sooner or later like Los Angeles. Moving to a larger city will give me more opportunities, lessons and experiences. Modeling school is something that I could do in a bigger place that would really benefit my future. If I ever were to get big in the modeling world I would start a modeling project for real beauty highlighting so called flaws such as wrinkles, stretch marks, or wide hips. My mission in doing this would be to prove that there is beauty in everything.. some just don't see it.

Beach Bucket List

Maui

A bucket list is a group of events or tasks that you want to complete before you die. People often create them as a type of goal. If you have a goal it is a lot easier to accomplish something. When you make a bucket list, it can have an unlimited amount of things you want to accomplish; there is no limit. If you want to travel somewhere specific or participate in certain things, it might be a good idea to create a bucket list.

The number one item on my bucket list is visiting Hawaii and participating in activities native to the culture. Hawaii is an archipelago of islands including the main island Hawaii, Maui, Oahu, Honolulu, Kauai, and some other mini islands. As of now, I would want to stay in Maui, but visit different locations in the state. I am most attracted to Maui because the beaches look so beautiful and I would like to spend a day or two playing in the water. It would be fun to snorkel, surf, and swim with the fish. I would also enjoy visiting the Volcano National Park.

In conclusion, there is no goal too small or big to be on a bucket list. It can be anything from mastering riding a bike to traveling around the world. Going to Hawaii has been a wish of mine since I was eight. I have always wanted to go and am hoping to visit after college with some friends. I plan on getting to Hawaii by saving up enough money for a plane ticket, a place to stay, and souvenirs. Then I will plan out how many days I will stay, where to camp out, and locations to visit. After that, it is all a matter of getting the nerve to actually get there. When I graduate, I am excited to be able to cross going to Hawaii off my bucket list.

The Sports of Gabe Umbarger

Gabe Umbarger is an eighth grader who does sports year round. His main and favorite sport to play is baseball,and when he plays he enjoys the outfield the most.

Gabe is not dedicated to every sport like many people think he is. Most of the sports he plays are just to get in shape for baseball. He is dedicated to baseball for sure because he puts in many hard working hours to make sure that he plays well. To get prepared for a baseball game Gabe will play catch, bp(batting practice), listen to music, run, stretch, and throw a bullpen. Throughout a game he doesn’t doubt himself because he has put enough work in to know that he shouldn’t doubt himself.

There are many teams that Gabe has been on that he has not liked but it was never because of the game it always tended to be because of the teammates and the fact that those teams tended not to win. Camaraderie is a major reason that he likes to be on a team sport. Those teammates can lift you up when you are down and they can help take the pressure off yourself when you lose as a team.

Being a professional athlete could be a possibility for him if he puts in enough effort and hard work. He believes that after hard work and practice talent will start to take over. Coaches and teammates are some of the people who motivate him to play hard and to play well. All the sports he plays are not just for the experience but for the fun of it and to keep in shape.

Now that I know more about Gabe’s sports life I learned that he is very dedicated to baseball and is very good at playing it. Gabe will most likely keep playing until he has to stop. Some of his answers were not what I expected but helped me learn more about him. I am glad that I interviewed Gabe Umbarger for my Sports Interview.

Going Down Under

A bucket list to most people is a list of events or fun things that they want to do in a certain time span. Some people make a bucket list for the new year, summer, or for their life. There’s a lot you could put in a bucket list like special events, people you want to meet, a place you want to visit or the very common one, skydiving. Some people write down their bucket list goals and some just remember them as things they want to do. I don't write down my bucket list goals because most of them I can remember by myself. But out of all the places I've wanted to go in the world Australia is the most prominent.

Link for Photo

Most people would probably choose some place like France, Spain, or Greece to visit if they had the chance, not Australia. Australia is nicknamed "the land down under" because it’s below the equator. It’s not considered just an island but as a continent. Australia has many wildlife species and more than 80 percent of its plant and animal life is found nowhere else. One of the commonly known species of Australia are Marsupials: kangaroos, koalas, wallabies, and wombats are all part of the Marsupial species and are the most commonly known animals in Australia. All of the animals in Australia is one of the main reasons I want to go there.

The average daily cost per person for a vacation to Australia is around $2200. I hope to visit Australia with friends and family after college so I will have to start saving the money. Hopefully when I get a successful job I will be able to add larger amounts to my saving account for the trip. Once I have all the money needed for the trip I will find an airline, hotel and places I want to visit. For now I will have to research for more information and save money a little bit at a time.

Career Fair

Career Fair

Very few kids realize they are the future for their country. Many don’t have an idea of what career they want to go into when they get out of school. Some don’t even know how valuable education can be when it comes to getting a job.

Today, November 4th, 2014 at the Convention Center in Pendleton Oregon, the Career Fair is taking place. The Career Fair’s goal is to help teenage students who are almost at the age to be able to get their first jobs, how to pursue their future career goals. Most of the students that are here today are 8th graders from Sunridge Middle School, along with a few other students from around the area. There is many companies and big corporations such as Costco, Wildhorse, Navy, ODFW, and many more spread throughout the gymnasium floor who are ready to answer questions for the many students coming here today in search of a future career.

Sunridge Middle School 8th grader, Makayla Fossek fills you in on some of her favorite booths, “My favorite booths would have to be the college booths since they can give me information on how to get further education past high school.” She also tells us what booths are the most popular with her fellow students, “Lots of kids like the Wildhorse booth the most because it has free chocolate dipped strawberries and marshmallows.  Also kids like the Tillamook booth since they are giving away free cheese.”

Everyone wants their children to exceed in life, but the only way to exceed is to work.  Don’t you think it would've been easier for you if you knew what career you wanted to go into? Wouldn't it also be easier if you didn't have to go around and work so many meaningless jobs just to finally find one you enjoyed? That is what conventions like the Career Fair help your children with. It’s so important that your children get information about the certain requirements or degrees needed for their career choice, best colleges for that career, cost of that college, and so much more. All of this is just a taste of the future they will have to face. It helps so much more when you can get prepared mentally and physically for the demands of a successful career.

Paris, Biggest Populated City in France

What is a bucket a list? If you don’t know what a bucket list is, it’s a list of things that people make that they want to accomplish before they die. It can have as many items they want on it. Most bucket lists usually consist of cliche items they think sound fun to do, such as: skydiving, bungy jumping, traveling the world etc. Items on my bucket list include visiting Paris, France, going scuba diving, and pursuing my dreams in the medical field. But, my most wanted option is to visit the so called “city of lights”.

 Link for photo

First, I would like to visit Paris, France because I have wanted to do so for as long as I can remember. Something interesting is it’s the city that has the Eiffel Tower, a very popular tourist attraction. I have always wanted to visit this city not only to see and go to the Eiffel Tower, but also because it has many famous art museums with tons of paintings done by historic artists. The cities great abundance of museums and the Eiffel tower not only attracts me, but many others since the cities largest number of tourists is 32.3 million.

Finally, Paris is a very beautiful place, and it would be an amazing opportunity to eventually be able to vacation there. I am looking forward to when I finish college and have a steady job to be able to visit, or maybe go as a graduation trip in the near future. I’m not sure when I will be able to go and enjoy the incredible city, but I’m hoping that eventually I will get the liberty to do so.

City of Lights

Photo

Have you ever had a goal that you have always wanted to do? That’s called a bucket list. A bucket list is a number of experiences or achievements that a person hopes to have or accomplish during their lifetime, at least that’s what Google says. I think it’s something people want to do before they die. Bucket lists are fun and exciting, some are serious, and others are just plain crazy. But for my bucket list, one day I hope to travel to Paris, which is in France. I chose this for my bucket list because I thought it would be fun to travel to another part of the world.

Paris is the capital of France, and famous for its Eiffel Tower, with a number of 15.6 million tourists in the area. Paris is famous for the title of, “City of Lights”. It was founded over 2,000 years ago, and is known for an aura of romance, also known for its mystery in its novels and films. The reason I want to go to Paris is because I want to see the Eiffel Tower, visit tourists attractions, and send postcards to my family and friends.

How I would fulfill my goal would be challenging. I would first save a couple thousand dollars, which I would use for a place to stay, plane tickets for going there and back, food, gifts, and souvenirs. Also, I would be visit the bookstore called, Shakespeare & Company, and visit the memorial called the Les Catacombes. I would go to the Shakespeare bookstore so I can buy books that are different from the books we read, and I would go to the Les Catacombes because there was a movie about it called, ”As Above, So Below”, and I would go there so I can see how scary it is.

My bucket list is to go Paris, France and I’m excited to see if I can actually make this work out. I want to go to Paris when I’m older, and maybe I can go with a couple of friends. I'm excited to see if I can fulfill my bucket list so I can go see the City of Lights.

The City of Firenze

Usually everyone has exciting activities they want to accomplish or achieve in their lifetime. That is called a bucket list. When people make bucket lists, it’s not just boring stuff that they want to do. It’s usually fun and thrilling activities. People would have a bucket list because they want to achieve great things before they pass. I have a lot of fun items on my bucket list I want to do in my lifetime, but visiting Florence, Italy is at the top of my list. The reason why I want to visit Florence, Italy is because it is a beautiful place to see, great attractions to see, and it would be fun to learn a new language, like Italian.

Link

Florence has another name called Firenze. It's the Italian name for Florence and was originally named Firenze. Florence is known for pastas and pizza. They say Italy invented pizza. Florence has some great tourists attractions like the Medici Chapel, Brancacci Chapel, The Great Synagogue, and plenty of others. One place I would want 
to visit in Florence is The Historic Centre of Florence. The Historic Centre was named a World Heritage site in 1982. There are also marble statues made by Michelangelo in the city of Florence. Florence is best taken in by walking around and sightseeing.

After I achieve my goal of going to college I would want to visit there. The way I would get the money for going to Florence would be to have a job in college and highschool and save up for this amazing trip. Visiting places far away takes long planning and lots of money. I would need money for the flight, money for a place to stay, and money for food and sightseeing. In the end of it all, it sounds like a great time and I hope to cross this off my bucket list. This is how I will fulfill my dream of going to Florence, Italy.
