ITALIAN DAYS AHEAD

This may be my last post for awhile. In 2 days Patience and I will leave for a 2 week trip to Italy. I will have camera and laptop and hopefully may be able to post while we're traveling.

Two years ago I suggested to the Renzulli cousins that we have a family reunion in Castlenuovo, the village of our grandparents located in the Apulia region in souther Italy (makes up the ankle of the boot). The idea floated about for a few months, and then gradually took form as folks signed on. Three generations will be present when 21 of us gather at the hotel in the village for 2 days.

Patience and I will be traveling with our daughter Amy, her husband Bob, and our 2 delightful grandchildren, Abigail and William. We will spend the first week in a winery in Tuscany where we can visit Florence, Siena, and Pisa, as long as it doesn't interfere with the wine and food.

Then it is on to Rome for 3 nights where we will celebrate Abigail's birthday with some of our cousins who will be there at that time.

From Rome we will all travel by train and bus to our final destination and meet up with the rest of the clan.
