Another consideration in moving the trip has been my mother's ill health. My January post told of my mom's health challenges. She continues to be in the hospital as I post today. I am so grateful I had the opportunity to spend time with her for a few days in January and I appreciate everyone's prayers and healing thoughts on her behalf.
My bucket list trip to Italy will be sometime in 2013 (probably May/June). Between now and then, I will continue to study Italian, exercise and post frequently about all of the magnificent things I am learning and intend to experience once there.
Buonjiourno!
