Arrivederci

Finally, after months of preparation and the packing of a multitude of suitcases(a mere 8 counting carryons), IT'S TIME TO LEAVE FOR ITALY!!! Despite having to reschedule our flight for a day later because of the British Airways strike, and the ever-present threat of the Icelandic volcano, we're on our way tomorrow afternoon. We fly from San Francisco to London and hopefully will make our 1 hour connection from there to Milano. Then it's a not so quick trip through the rush hour traffic (it's worse that LA's, really) to Berzo. A day to rest and then off to Firenze, Bologna, and my Venezia (yes, it's mine). We'll catch up on the blog over the weekend. Until then, arrivederci. Next stop - Milano!
