It's Almost Time to Go...Be Back in Two Weeks!

After three years of planning our trip to Italy for 10 family members. The stretch limo will pick six of us up on Saturday, 6/24, and the other four will meet us in JFK (coming up from Tampa).

I'm done...stick a fork in me. No more planning, no more re-confirmations...just packing up the suitcases, paying the bills, emptying out the refrigerator, and so forth.

I will be waving at the Sorrento web cam, but I can't pin down the date any closer than Wed., 7/5, or Thurs., 7/6. If I can get to a computer, I'll send an e-mail for an approximate time.

Everyone is very excited and so very thankful Delta is flying!

Arrivederci i miei amici.

Happy travels, i_am_kane and family! I would check the webcam to see you, but we will be on a plane heading to Rome.

Enjoy your trip and tell us all about it when you return!

Have a beautiful journey, K.

Haven't waved at anyone at the Sorrento webcam in a while, we'll see you and your crew then!

Arrivederci! Tiff

Hi Everyone,

I'm logging on from the Hotel Casci in Florence, Italy.

It has been hotter than Hades since we arrived in Venice on Sunday morning. Leving this morning for Rome.

No sleep, but enjoying every minute of this vacation.

Ciao!

Hello i_am_kane,

My husband stopped in Rome briefly at the beginning of the week on his way to Macedonia and said it was unbelievably hot. Glad to hear you are having a great time!
