Hope you have a great trip..I'm sure knowing you (well, it seems like I do through these boards), you have put lots of work and energy into it being a special time. I hope it is.

Thank you very much - - even though I am not sure who this is (numerous nice Canadian friends made here) - - don't recall ever seeing this particular handle ever before. <BR> <BR>Arrivederci... <BR> <BR>Rex <BR>

Arrivederci, Rex and company, and Buon Viaggio. We're looking for a great trip report when you return.

Rex, if you have a chance to stop into an Internet cafe while there, please let us know how things are going. I'm scheduled to leave for Italy on November 3 and fully intend to go if at all possible. Hope you have a fabulous, safe trip.

You can just about count on a report or two (or more?) - - "live" from our trip. I took a lot of heat last May for checking on in this board while traveling - - but I am so very pleased by all this well-wishing that I wouldn't hink it right NOT to check in. <BR> <BR>Many thanks again... <BR> <BR>R <BR>

Rex: <BR> <BR>Have a happy and safe trip and come back cheered up. <BR>Do you need to know who I am? <BR> <BR>Boun Viaggio

To Rex & his group of co-travelers: Happy & safe travels & looking forward to the report(s). <BR>BC

Have a great time and safe trip home!

I'll be posting more when I am not so tired. I have my laptop(which I hope to use as my "journal") - - and with floppy in hand, hope to be able to do some "live" reporting from here in Italy. All SEVEN of us have ended up proceeding with the trip. Arrived in Florence (train from Milan where we flew in to Linate) more or less on time; three of seven did not receive their checked bags. Promised delivery tomorrow. All are well; weather is great here in Florence. This message from "webpucino", near Piazza Madonna. <BR> <BR>Best wishes (and good night)... <BR> <BR>Rex (and Claye, Lynn, Jean, Stacey, De and Annemarie) <BR>
