Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures, Bob! Your time in Italy was obviously wonderful. And how does Susan stay so beautiful during the trip? Wishing you two many more joyful trips together.

Great pictures. Looking forward to your report.

Stunning pictures! Makes me excited and sad at the same time. I'm sad we won't have more time there. We're not empty nesters yet. While I wouldn't wish away the time we have left with our youngest for anything in the world, at least hubby and I have wonderful things to look forward to. I hope there is a TR to go with these. Going to look!
