Travel Anxieties

AUGH I leave at the buttcrack of dawn tomorrow for a city in a country I've never been to, where not everyone speaks English and I'm travelling alone from an airport I don't know my way around to an airport where the signs are not in English and I have only a few Italian phrases phonetically written out on notecards and I'm ill and not feeling well and afraid of being searched at the airport because I'm a young person travelling alone with no checked luggage and I don't speak Italian except those few phrases that I say with a Southern accent, and I don't know how to ask about wireless internet in Italian, though the hostel site said the rooms had wireless though I hope it's free, and I have to get up in five hours but I am too nervous/excited to sleep and I'm going to be staying within 800 meters of Michelangelo's David statue I can't wait but I'm so very nervous and I'm having trouble breathing from this stupid sinus infection that hasn't gone away yet and I really wanted to bring my knitting with me so I could finish my mother's birthday gift but NO stupid European airports won't let you take them with you because clearly evil knits.

I'll try to update once I get to the hostel, tomorrow. Wish me luck?
