The Haul:

- cold hard cash (just enough to cover the hole left in my bank account from Christmas presents THANK GOD)¹
- 2-disc edition of PotC2 (there is a promisingly-titled special feature called 'Captain Jack from Head to Toe' omg omg plz be about costumes)
- a bizarre amount of chocolate (...?)

Being packed, it is now to hang around and wait for the coach to take us on our 48759834759-hour drive to Milan airport. Home. Home.

¹Was originally going to get this early so I could buy masks on the return daytrip to Venice that I was promised promised promised cross my heart hope to die that we would do during one of the days off on the package tour. Because god god god the masks in Venice are so beautiful I could cry just looking at them, much like the rest of the city, but we kind of passed everything at the quick jog that is the Travel Department's normal pace. Buuuut these promises of course were denied vehemently when I brought them up. Oh well. Who needs masks.
