So much for Italy

I was rather excited about the prospect of going to Italy next summer. I acquired a passport, had already paid some money for it (which will be refunded), and was about to purchase travel insurance. Instead, today I learned the trip was cancelled due to a drop in interest following a minor itinerary change. I'm told the trip will eventually be rescheduled, but we all know how those things go. So until it happens, I shall remain disappointingly optimistic.
