You’re going to publish this memoir right??? Whenever I travel I’m always so glad to be reunited with my bidet. I look forward to hearing more adventures! Bravo!

Bidets, vaparetto (sp?), being clueless, sweaty tourists, bribing kids to join us at a museum (castle, cathedral) - all things I can relate to but your descriptions are way beyond what my postcards (30 years ago) were able to convey to family and friends. I know I'm going to enjoy your journey vicariously - possibly more than I enjoyed my 5 years in Europe. I WILL subscribe!!!!

Just to clarify .......... We REALLY enjoyed our 5 years traveling throughout Europe while living in Germany. In re-reading my blurb above, it sounded like I didn't enjoy it very much.

I'm sure you'll enjoy your time there too.

This was absolutely fantastic and I cannot wait for your other writings as your time unfolds. The parts about the bidet were hysterical but yes I miss my bidet I really do. Your blend of humor and the very real stress that accompanies and overseas move are so on point. Love you all!!!

Aww. Thank you, Patty. We’ve been talking about you a lot and kicking ourselves that we didn’t visit when you were living in Naples. ❤️❤️❤️
