Those who know me, are always asking where to next?? Well the answer is the Puglia region of Italy. That would be the SE region, or the heel of the boot.
I have started searching for hotels/apartments in the area and have come across quite a few that look good and are actually priced right. The initial plan so far is to have Bill's parents drive there from Budapest and spend a week with us. We would like to be there for a total of about 2 weeks. We will see how that pans out. The long range plan is to purchase a "retirement" home for us in the area. The main purpose of this trip is to actually see if we like the area or not.
I have signed up for Rosetta Stone to learn some Italian before we actually get there. So far it is going pretty good. Sophie has it found it quite interesting also. So far we are still on lesson one, with a few busy weekends coming up, I hope to at least make it to lesson 2 or 3 before the end of the week. With the trip being planned for March/April of 2011, I hope to be pretty fluent by than.
