Here we go again!

31 August 2019

We weren’t a week into our spring trip to France and the U.K. when Ric opined that he would miss our fall trip to Italy and hated to think of waiting 18 months before we saw il bell paese again. We were one glass into a bottle of fine pinot noir from the Alsace at this point in the conversation. By the time the bottle was gone, we were researching tickets for September. Tomorrow we fly to Milano.

Much like last autumn, we will visit Italy (the Val Gardena) and Switzerland’s Lauterbrunnen Valley, This year we will spend two weeks in Lauterbrunnen and 2.5 in Ortisei with a brief stop in new-to-us Bettmeralp. Needless to say, we have packed our trekking sticks.

The housesitter has arrived and we will no doubt have little sleep tonight. Maybe that will allow us to sleep on the plane.

I’ll be writing blog posts that I call postcards from our trip, as I have in the past. Enjoy your holiday weekend!

Have a fantastic trip and trek. So nice your husband decided he couldn’t wait 18 months to see Italy again. I’m with his type of thinking.
