February 2010 - See You in Italy

36 hour trip to Italy. Still great.

Most searched places this winter on Travel + Leisure site? 1. ITALY! Then Costa Rica, Paris and New Orleans. Just back from Italy, this week. was stellar. New Orleans a couple weeks ago. In Italy there had been lots of rain so the fields were just green green green. Some sort of winter crop? Can you believe these shots are from mid-February? I was there and was incredulous even in person.

Was only there in Italy two days. Saw a million things, ate most of them. Visited some towns I’d never seen before. Always something new to wonder at in Umbria. Even in the middle of winter.

See you in Italy,

Two days in Italy and then two days in Little Italy, NYC

Don’t hate me. Not my fault if a client got us airmiles for a trip to Italy to see houses. And just got us upgraded to First Class. And we’re leaving Saturday!

Bank got our starter set of trip euros overnight. Italian phone seems to be charging up on the weird Reverse Charger. Chi lo sai se funzionava? boh. Countdown to blast off continues. Italy Sunday and Monday.

Then back to NYC and hanging at the Hilton in Trebeca to see our son’s play at Joe’s Pub. Picked the hotel just because, according to my map reading, because it appears to be hard by Little Italy.

all Italy all the time,

ci vediamo,

See you in Italy (if you look quick)
