….I’ve finally returned from my trip of a lifetime to Italy
We stepped through our front door on Tuesday evening after being on an airplane for 9 hours, at the baggage carousel for at least an hour and then two hours in a car. We ended up driving to Hamilton first to drop off our daughter and Winnie. We stayed for a bit and had a much needed cup of coffee and a bite to eat. Then we packed up our dog, Frances and headed back to Toronto. By the time we got to bed we had been up for about 21 hours.
Luckily for me I managed to sleep through the night but my husband was up at 4:00 and Winnie was definitely on European time, getting up at 2:00 and 4:00 and then again at 7:00. Not only did she wake up but she stayed awake for an hour or two each time.
When I checked my emails I had over 1000. Needless to say that checking and replying to each one is next to impossible. I apologize in advance to my followers whose emails I had to delete. Even deleting emails takes time and I’m now down to 300. I’m hoping to read most of them.
I’ve managed to upload about half of my photos to my laptop. I’ve asked my family members to send me more shots, especially with ones of me in them. At the family wedding I didn’t have one photo of me in either of my cameras. Luckily my brother-in-law and nephew took lots and they promised to send me some.
So for the next couple of weeks I’ll definitely share some of my adventures and certainly many of my photos from Italy. For now I leave you with a small sampling of my 17 days in Venice, Florence, Bologna, Lucca, Assisi and Rome. Enjoy!

Excellent! I’m happy for you to visit, and for me to be here. Extra cool that you went to Lucca. Looking forward to your next posts! And I wonder if pushing the camper was a part of the wedding or was it necessary.

The camper was at the wedding and got stuck after a night of heavy rain.

Look forward to hearing about your travels. Get some sleep and good plan to delete a bunch of emails. Sleep and travel are way more important. 🙂

Thanks Peggy. I figure I can always go back through people’s blogs later when I have more time.

I may have to stop looking at your blog until you are done posting all your travel photos so I don’t turn a permanent color of green with envy.
Glad you are back safe and sound with wonderful memories!

Oh please don’t stop looking. It wasn’t all sunshine and roses. I’ll share some of the downsides but I have to admit it was mostly good.

Exploring new places is always exciting, even more so when a wedding of loved ones is part of it. Great to have such wonderful memories captured digitally to remind you of your holiday of a lifetime.
