So glad you're healthy enough to make the trip, as planned. I'm looking forward to your colorful trip report.

Have fun, try to behave...and eat lots of tarte flambees for me!

Hi Ira, I wish you and your wife a great trip. Looking forward to your trip report when you return.

Ira and lady Wife,
We wish you a marvelous time filled with laughter and joy.
Cant wait to see your pics and read your report.

Safe and happy travels to you, Ira. I'm sure it will be a wonderful trip. EJ

Have a great trip, Ira. Looking forward to reading your trip report. I have always appreciated your advice and insights.

Hello again Ira,
I was speaking with P_M a short while ago (she's still in the hospital), and she was asking what's happening over at Fodor's. I told her you were leaving tomorrow for a month's trip overseas.

She wanted me to relay a very cheerful bon voyage to you and your lady wife. She's so glad you're feeling well enough to travel again.

Hi all,

Thanks for the kind wishes.

Hi PA,

One of our stops will be the Reichenbach. I shall be prepared. I am bringing an air rifle.

Hi Bob,
We will be Provence when you get to Italy.

Enjoy yourself Ira - as we all know you will! )

Drop a note if you prefer Mantua, Bergamo or Bologna - that's where I'm torn for 3 nights late this month. Flying to Milan, but want small, walled, non-overdone city, will have 2 fist time EU trippers with me. Plans are: Frankfurt, then ___, and lastly 3 days in Venice from the 20th-30th of Sept. (couldn't do any more than 10 days boo!)

I'll have your safe travels in mind and will await your witty-detail filled musings! - Kristy

PS -and I'll finally post that old Il Ritruvo receipt & memories!

Safe journey!

Have a wonderful time, and I hope you post as soon as you return so I can read more tips about Alsace for my trip beginning on Oct. 12.

Safe journeys!

Ira, hope you and wife have the best trip ever!
