I've been without internet since Sunday so sorry for the delay on a new posting. Through work Jeff and others needed to gather several parties from 'afar'.... soon, and found that there was no room at the inn, at least no inn in Milan. It was fashion week and the town was booked. So quickly accommodations were arranged at the Regina Palace in Stresa, on Lago Magorrie, the first place Jeff and I had taken a day trip to. Jeff was going to be gone until Friday, so I decided to join him. Just What I need you're saying, another vacation!. Tricia and Steven arrived this morning and we took them back to Stresa for the day, of shopping, roaming, and trying to stay awake. we're back in Milan now and they're both tucked in bed. tomorrow is laundry, and on Saturday it's off to Bolzano and the Dolomites.
