LawleyItalia 2010 - Siamo Quasi La`

This is the first post for the inaugural Mount Lawley Senior High School Giro D'Italia (Tour of Italy). Prima di cominciare (before I begin) vorrei (I would like) to acknowledge the incredible efforts of Bianca Petale, my colleague who has been instrumental in planning and preparing the montagna (mountain) of paperwork required to make a viaggio (trip) such as this happen. Grazie Bianca!

Poi (then) I would like to acknowledge and thank Connie White, our enthusiastic and efficient Travel Agent for her pazienza (patience) and willingness to assist and guide us. Connie gave up much personal time to attend meetings and prepare and package the tour for us. Grazie Connie!

Adesso (now) vorrei ringraziare (to thank) i genitori (the parents) for their support and encouragement with the planning and preparation for the tour. Grazie genitori!

It's also important to me to ringraziare all the support, administrative and executive staff that have aiutato (helped) our team get us to the point dove (where) we are quasi pronti (almost ready) to say arrivederci Perth and head on our Italian adventure, quindi (therefore) grazie mille!

E` anche molto importante ringraziare Antonella Capatti la nostra collega in Italia who has worked with us to prepare the Italian leg of our sister school relationship and infatti il Preside e tutti quelli all'Istituto Di Istruzione Superiore Balilla Pinchetti that have helped realise this project, grazie colleghi italiani!

So here we are, just a few days away, with a new blog to record our journey for history. Buon divertimento!
