Trouble creating a new blog

Well, I have created many blogs; but none recently. They seem to be making it harder to create a new blog.  Oh well,  This is one of my old blogs that I seem to have fallen by the wayside and never followed up on.  So, I will just use it.

If I could change the name of this blog I would name it "Christmas Markets for Regina's 50th 2018"

But, in order for you to get to this blog you would have to use the old address so lets just keep the old address.  And as I am reminded frequently...."There is no promise of tomorrow"

Friday, November.  23, Regina, Christy & I start our journey to Basel, Switzerland.  Where we will catch an AMA riverboat on Monday, November 26 and explore the Christmas Markets along the way.

Please come along with us, I promise it will be beautiful.

Off to Italy

Ohhhhhh to blog again. But, the best part is there is travel involved.
Our neighbor Leigh Dawkins found this great deal for a cruise around Italy
and ask us if we would like to go. And amazingly Ray said yes. I suspect the reason partly is because he enjoyes their company.

At any rate we depart PNS Thursday, September 30 and arrive Rome Oct. 1 and board our ship Oct 2. It is a two week cruise and we begin & end in Rome. We will stay in Rome an additional day to see the Vitican. Hope I get my pass port stamped and can get a Vitican stamp. Our itinerary is as follows:

• Saturday, Oct 2 board ship
• Sunday, Oct 3, Sorrento (can you say lemons)
• Monday, Oct 4, Sorrento
• Tuesday, Oct 5, Taormina (Sicilly & Mt Etna)
• Wednesday, Oct 6, @ sea
• Thursday, Oct 7, Ravenna (Bologna)
• Friday, Oct 8, Trieste (wine country)
• Saturday, Oct 9, Venice
• Sunday, Oct 10, Venice
• Monday Oct 11, Dubrovnik, Croatia
• Tuesday, Oct 12, @ sea
• Wednesday, Oct 13, @ sea
• Thursday, Oct 14, Florence (saved the best for last)
• Friday, Oct 15, Florence
• Saturday, Oct 16, back to Rome & the Vitican

It maybe Tuesday, Oct. 5, before I make another entrie. By that time maybe the numbness will have worn off. But, I hope you will come along with us. I promice to feed you from time to time.

PS O Sole Mio translates to "There's no Tomorrow".........so enjoy today!! That is Leigh's favorite song which she sings rather badly.

I thought about naming the blog.........."Il bel far niente" which translates "the beauty of doing nothing"..........Which they could put on my gravestone. I must learn the correct pronunciation.
