Ciao, Babe




















Today's the day - off to Italy. Got my debit card, passport and a handful of Euro's. The suitcase is chock full of underwear, socks and tee shirts. My carry-on bag has both digital and film, some reading material and my MP3 player loaded up with jazz and cowboy tunes. I got the Missus all tightened up with "Homeland Security". Didn't get the concertina wire strung but everything else is in place - dog, firearms, and a phone call to a friend who works for the local sheriff. Everything should be Jake.

Plane lands in Switzerland and then we change planes after a two hour layover. Should give me a chance to "mark my territory". That will give me another country I can honestly say I've been to. I've got most of the states under my belt but Canada's the only other country I've been to. Seem's kind of ironic that I'm leaving for Italy on St. Patrick's Day. I would like to go to Ireland someday. Paris and the Eiffel Tower someday as well. Actually, there's a whole big wide world out there I'd like to see someday. Too bad I wasn't born rich instead of good looking.

I'm not sure what the computer and time arrangements will allow for posting but I'll check in if I can. Arrivederci.

Trip of a lifetime and I have to get a lousy cold. I think the worst is behind me, though. Either way, it's not going to stop me. Looking forward to seeing your smiling face again. We miss you around here.

Have a fun time and give Sophia a kiss for me.
