I would be willing to bet money that she never makes it to Italy. 8 years of art school and she's a waitress? Probably wouldn't know how to save money if her life depended on it. As Gmac mentioned, that won't even cover her air fare, let alone lodging, meals, and any other travel expenses.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say:
Shoes, girl's trip to Vegas, and a new handbag.

This guy would have been better off lighting up a Montecristo with that cash.
