Time to Fly

My friend "P" and my cousin Ron have their own blogs... why not me! So, as I watch Joanie pack the bags for our trip to Italy I write my first post! Boring stuff... not quite as bad as sitting on a plane for 8 hours but.... The best part of travelling is anticipating the trip, until you actually get there and then the best part of the trip becomes the experience, until you get home and then the bast part of the trip is the memories. I look forward to all three. Why am I leaving at this crucial time? Because this is when the free tickets were available! Do I want to wake up at 3 a.m. on election day? No, but I will. Do you want me to find you a place to share with me in Italy if it turns out that the result is not to my liking? http://www.italianpropertiesforsale.co.uk pick one out and maybe I'll have time to look it over!

Over the next few days I'll be writing and, if I can learn how, posting pictures etc. Follow me throughout the country of walled cities, trattorias, museums, churches and more..... http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tab=wl should show where we'll be. So, follow along as we fire up the Garmin and head off into the Italian countryside....
