La Dolce Vita - Part II

I'm off to Rome in a few hours. As with last year, the day to day details will be determined along the way, but there a few definites thus far:

Depart 6/30: United Airlines 966 at 6:20
Arrive 7/01: Rome 8:50am
Have first gelato: 8:51am
Have first litre of vino: 8:52am (have to lay down a base of gelato before I start drinking)
Return: August 15 (shit!)

Other than that, Liz (you know my friend from high school) is flying over next Saturday for 2 weeks. We are hanging out in Rome for a couple of days and then flying to Dubrovnik, Croatia. We're spending 2 nights on the island of Korcula, 5 nights in Dubrovnik, and renting a car to venture into Bosnia and Montenegro, then back to Rome for a few more wine soaked days. If we land ourselves in an eastern European jail, it would fabulous if you would all use your political and financial powers to save us. Assuming jail is not in my future, I'm also thinking of heading down to Sicily for a week.

Same girls, same drinking, different part of the world

So that's about it. I hope you all have great summers and feel free to comment on the posts. I check often and its always great to hear from you all, even you Peter. Also, I've got an Italian SIM to use in my cell this year so if you text or call, it will be an international call for you. I'm also using Skype to talk to my family for free; if you use Skype my contact info is posted on the left. I've also got a webcam on my laptop, so I'll take you for a tour of the apartment!

Baci e a presto!!

Loralie: thanks bella; I will miss you and husband terribly. I've gotten used to our Fridays of nonsense. Next year its the 3 of us!!

LaLa: Wish we could have worked out the two of us tearing up Italia together. So I guess I will lay the ground work, and you will finish it off in the Fall. A presto, bella!
