I am considering a summer trip ('08 or '09) to Trapani, Italy. I have a good friend who lives there, but I have never met her in person. We became penpals at age 11. September '09 I will be married, and she plans to come in to be a bridesmaid and to meet. Perhaps I am being selfish, but I want to step out on my own--test my wings, if you will--before settling down.
Could any of you tell me how to go about planning this trip, a cost estimate (cost is paramount since I am currently planning a wedding) what I need to know about the area, the weather, etc? I haven't traveled out of the States before, or even flown, so I am "travel illiterate." How safe is air travel, really? haha.
