Note: Thank you for following us over to this new blog address! Our original site would not let us list companies or commercial venues like hotels, tours, etc. which we thought was unfair to those of you who have asked for hints and the names of companies where we found useful services/products that will aid in the planning of your trip to Europe. Hopefully we will not have this problem here!
Who came up with this brilliant idea???
I honestly don't remember but the seed germinated some five years ago during a lunch conversation with the realization that my brother lived/lives in the same Sicilian town as my brother-in-law Joe's Italian cousins. Wow, how ironic! 'Ya know, someday we should travel over there together; what a fun trip that would be"!
I live in a mind that wants to be footloose, fancy free and able to just plan a trip like that on a whim. But with feet firmly planted in the daily obligations of owning a business thoughts & dreams like that are shelved for 'sometime in the future'.
As we get older we've realized that we are living our future each and every day. Life has this way of speeding up and zooming by... Today and tomorrow are yesterday's 'future'. Days pass becoming weeks; then months, and all too often we find ourselves marveling that Christmas is here already and we are about to start yet another year! We are not getting any younger. So during some very enjoyable visits with my SIL and BIL we decided to take the plunge and plan the trip!
Many of you want to follow our trip that will begin in just two weeks so hopefully I will be able to document our travels...where we are going; what we will be seeing. We are so grateful to "Frances and Charlie" who will be staying & watching our house while we are gone...making sure that all is copacetic on the home front.
In the days ahead I will preview some of our planning sessions, which I have likened to preparations for the high school junior prom...it's been as much fun as the trip itself! I'm not sure that France and Italy are ready for four adventurous travelers but we certainly are gearing up to see those fabulous countries!
