19 days until we fly to Sicily/ Rome.
We are ready. I think.
Looking forward to trying all the delicious foods that have been recommended on this board (ricci!), and to experiencing Easter week on the island. And to seeing Siracusa, Noto, Agrigento, Etna. And to taking my kids to see the Colosseum.
It's my second time to Sicily, though my first trip was nearly 20 years ago (oy, it's hard getting older). I lived in Rome in college, so that always feels a bit like going home.

Judy -- That's so funny you said that. My mom, who leaves with me in 7-1/2 weeks for Paris/Rome was just insisting today that I take zinc and echinacea a week before we leave to avoid being sick during our trip.
Moms are so good at looking after us!

Just two months and we are off to Barcelona. Then train to Carcassone for a night and next day rent car to drive to Albi and the Dordogne. From Sarlat area we will drive to St. Emilion for a short stay on a vineyard. Then, last, but most defintely not the least part of our trip, will be a week in Paris. We will take the TGV from Libourne.
