The days are getting closer. Soon (13) day's until we arrive in Rome for a restover before we head to Tuscany.
I recently discovered a lovely wine festival of all organic wines in #Panzano Italy. 20 wineries will be attending with food booths and live jazz Saturday and Sunday. The group is very excited after I spilled the bean in an email to them. Oh well, they will still be excited just to see this Tuscan town square.
Aperitifs and Art is a new exciting event at most museums in Italy. Every Thursday evening from 6-9 enjoy cocktails and art in a later event. Most locals enjoy this time to spend with the great art #Italy has to offer.
So looking forward to our Thursday evening at the #Uffuzi and #Academia in #Florence
Busy Saturday here in Dallas today so gonna run. Ciao for now.

Getting There
The road to Tuscany is sometimes long.
Just the other day our guests were telling stories of how they came to be on this coming trip.
I really enjoy getting to know our travelers before we get to the destination. It makes the trip more enjoyable.
Just 22 days and counting, the excitement is frenetic as our first timers are preparing. In the words of the Italian language instructor, you will never re-live your first time to Tuscany but you can see it in the faces of the first timer.
I so look forward to seeing Joyce and Kelly as their eyes light up and they try to drink it all in at once. They will be absorbed by the beauty that is Tuscany.
On the train as I write this so have to go, tunnels =no signal.
ciao for now.

Closer and Closer
Early Sunday evening in Dallas playing with the puppies and loving life. It has been a wonderful birthday.
Last night went to the Granada Theater to see my friend Eric Tessmer open for Monte Montgomery who was also celebrating his birthday.
I just realized we leave for Rome in 4 weeks. Everyone is excited. We have been inundated with calls and questions about next years spring trip.
People are curious about how the private villa works. It is very simple actually. They work just like a hotel. Every guest room had it's own bathroom. The villa is staffed for all amenities like chefs and household staff. The private estates are very large and within walking distance of a quaint Tuscan village.
Once the callers have discovered it is similar to a hotel but with only the group staying there the more excited they become and want to bring more people with them.
Funny how that works.
Oh well. Getting late gotta run.
ciao for now.
