Tomorrow morning I leave on a trip that I have dreamed of for at least 40 years... I am finally going to Italy...
and...
while there, I am going to get to go to a cooking school...
and even better....
Caroline is going to be able to go with me!
About 8 Christmases ago, the kids gave me money to set up an "Italy savings account". They knew how much I wanted to go and said that since I had always supported their dreams and they wanted to support mine. I set up the account and have added to it over the years, and now with Caroline already being in Germany and the cooking school running a heck of a deal, I took the plunge and bought the tickets!
I am not sure why, but I have always wanted to go to Italy. My real dream is to live there for at least 4 months, but since I don't know anything about the country other than it calls to me, and I had no idea where I should go, I decided a small cooking school set in the hills of Italy would be the perfect introduction to the country.
The first part of the trip takes me to Germany where I get to spend time with Caroline, Booker and Apollo, then on the 17th we will hop on the plane to Italy and spend a week learning traditional Italian dishes and seeing the country side. whooo hoooo hooooo! I. can. not. wait!
I plan to write about the trip and post my pictures here so that family and friends who are interested can come along with me and I won't be boring others or blowing up my facebook page with pictures that others may not want to see. In many ways, it will be a running diary for me to remember the trip, but feel free to travel with me and leave your comments. : )
