Blog #1: The Adventure is About to Begin

Welcome to Lorne and Sandy's Italian Adventure Blog!  On September 22, 2010, one week from today, we'll be on the plane to Italy for an amazing adventure to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary.  We're very excited about this trip and have been making plans for over a year now.  Our recent trips to Greece in August 2008 and Japan in December 2009 have taught us many lessons about foreign travel, which will come in handy for this trip.

One of the best travel lessons was taught to us by our darling daughter, Kristin, who sadly will not be travelling with us this time as she is immersed in her studies at Trent University in Peterborough where she is in the fourth year of the concurrent BA/BEd program.  What Kristin taught us, was how to do a great blog.  We can only hope to measure up to Kristin's high standards of literary excellence and interesting story-telling.  Just check out her blog yourself (http://kristin-japan.livejournal.com/) if you haven't already seen and read about her amazing adventures from a year of studying at the Kanzai Gaidai University in Japan(http://www.trentu.ca/admin/tip/tisep_universities-kansai_gaidai.shtml)

We hope to post almost daily blogs with pictures and stories of our adventures (if we can find the time and energy).  So stay tuned to this blog site our dear family and friends and come along on our adventure with us.

Chi sa che cosa si impara? Forse diventeremo tutti fluente in italiano, prima l'avventura è finita. Non sarebbe meraviglioso? Ciao amici!
