A hitch in the plans already?

T-32hrs and counting...

We haven't even left yet and already I think I'm going to have to change some plans. My original plan had us crossing the Grossglockner on our way down into Italy. The weather forecasts have gotten progressively worse for that section of the Alps as the week has gone by, though. Like 2-4" of snow worse.

Our only two options are to go completely around the alps and down the extreme eastern border of Italy and Slovenia, or go over the Brenner Pass which is a very heavily trafficked road and not as high as Grossglockner. Neither of those two alternatives are very appealing to me, however.

I might just say "F" it and take the Grossglockner anyway.

On a better note, it looks like we might be able to get all of our stuff in 2 suitcases with an empty duffel in one for souvenirs (read: wine and olive oil). We'll see; we still haven't tried to pack up the "health and beauty items" yet.
