Dear Friends,
I was so good on the last trip that B and G are ready to do it again. The flight to Rome is a little longer than the one to Paris but I should be fine. I was in my bag for a VERY long time on the trip home from Europe in November because of a snafu coming through customs and I suffered through it quietly so an extra hour in the air really shouldn’t be a problem.
My medical papers need updating but this is an easier trip on all that. Unlike Ireland and England, Italy does not require that pesky parasite treatment five days before arrival. Although B learned that many people simply ignore the USDA stamp that is required, G thinks it best we get it again. (B would probably wing it.) It turns out the vets at JFK can issue the stamp so G will go and do that before we leave.He has already spoken to them and was assured that it is no big deal.
We will be staying in Umbria on the Tuscan border and following the steps of St. Francis. You probably will not be surprised to know he is my favorite saint.
Ciao for now!
