I shall definitely be saving my mulah for one!!! I am even thinking I might forfeit getting a new bag for Spring/Summer and add that cash to the fund... Oooh, this had added such an exciting new twist to the trip!!! Poor Richard has missed this development as he's been away in Moscow - I look forward to filling him in...

Just realised I completely forgot to fax back our Chianti region tour form!!! I'd better email and see if it's still available... TBH tho' I am still torn between that and the DCL Portofino offering - maybe I'll take another look...

Karen, If you and Richard would like to join us on our Cinque Terre tour, please feel free. Here is a link to the site: Cinque Terre National Park Click on the Day Trip link. The first tour they discuss is the one we are doing. Right now we are paying 125 Euros per person. But with 4 people it goes down to 68 Euros per person. There does appear to be some walking between the first 3 towns. But I don't think it is too strenous. The wine tour sounds great. But if it isn't available and you want to join us, let me know.

We'd love to have you come with us. But don't feel obligated. That wine tour does sound lovely and quite romantic.

Sorry to hear it. I thought we had finally picked up a third person. Have fun on the EBTA. I bet it will be really relaxing.

This sounds great! Wish I had the vacation time to add on more time before or after the cruise.

On page 3. Giving us a bump.

We are suppose to have 6 to 8 inches of snow by tomorrow. I'll just have to keep dreaming of this cruise to get me through it!

We keep having snowfalls - it's driving me crazy!!! Not to mention that this weather is delaying my building project...

Anyway, I've booked our flights to and from Spain!!!

Makes it feel even more real...

Sorry about the delays in your building project. When we built our house it took almost twice as long as they projected. We sold our old house way too early and had to live with DMIL for over 6 months. So I feel your pain.

Glad you got your flights booked. Did you get a good deal?

 

[CustardTart]

Glad you got your flights booked. Did you get a good deal?

Yes - especially pleased to get them in the British Airways sale as we're flying in/out different airports. Just got to arrange our flight between Malaga and Barcelona...

No snow here today - instead I can see bright blue skies which means it must be freezing out there!!! However, the builders are here en masse and the roof is definitely starting to take shape. I hope I get the chance to pop out and take some pics later...

Richard's en route to NYC as we speak - I guess he'll be landing soon. I really hate all the travelling he's doing lately!!! He'll be away 3 nights and I'm already lonely - thank goodness I have the dogs to keep me company...

Sorry to hear that you are alone. I hate it when Steve is gone too. He leaves soon for 9 days to the Dominican Republic on a mission trip. I'm going to hate it. He will only be able to email a couple times while he is down there. With the issues in Haiti I am a bit concerned. Our last mission trip from our church was there during the earthquake last month. So the whole mission group ended up on the border working in a make shift clinic. We're not sure what is going to happen once he gets down there. I guess there's nothing I can do but pray.

Glad to hear that they are out in force working on your house.
