I am going to re-think my constant nagging of my husband to "share" what he's really thinking. Perhaps, it's best I don't know.

As the trip planner in the family, laughing at what DH may really be thinking.

But, burning question, what is a spesh

Given the context, I assume spesh is short for a "special someone." In short, a new girlfriend.

I can only assume it is short for special something.... special friend sounds a little dumb, but I don't know.

I liked the report, in fact, it looked kind of professional to me, not as if a regular guy wrote it. So if this is a regular guy who doesn't work in journalism or travel or something, I am shocked and awed.

Glad to hear Bar Internazionale is still there and hasn't changed much. We stayed in an apartment right by it about nine years ago and went there every morning for coffee--and most evenings as well.

Yeah, there were a few awkward attempts at covering his tracks... like "right" instead of write. But this guy's someone who's done it before, make no mistake. Maybe not professionally...

Nicely done. Lol.

Great report! Fun read; I showed it to my spesh (as in first -- and only -- wife); she laughed out loud. I too suspect this guy is a pro....reminded me of Dan Jenkins in his prime.

RUSSMAT, great report. I suspect you are in advertising or PR. Very enjoyable.

Excellent, detailed report. Just one question. Your wife is named spesh? If so where is the capital "S"? Buon viaggio
