Shrubs and other things

My yellow and pink blooming bushes are still unidentified. Please help!!!??!
I'm getting myself overwhelmed these past few days trying to get all my ducks in a row for the next month. I leave tomorrow afternoon by train to Rome to join my fellow travelers from Christ the King here in Italy. We have 3 days in Rome, 2 in Sorrento, 2 in Florence and 2 in Venice. While I'm away, our son-in-law Steven is in Leipzig Germany, so I've been checking out the feasibility of Jeff going up there this weekend, by train or air. That's still up in the air. 2 days after I return from the tour of Italy Jeff and I are off to Athens for 2 nights. It's Easter weekend for the western church, but not the Greek Orthodox. But.... while doing some on line research I found a mission church, english speaking, that has an Easter Sonrise service on Filopappos Hill with a view of the Acropolis, at sunrise. I found a hotel very close to this area, wanting to walk where ever we go. I'm calling it my intro to Greece trip, hoping to explore the islands at a later date.
A week and a day after that I'll be heading to the States, with 2 weeks in Minneapolis then on to Houston for ?. The question is dependent on Jeff's plans. He thinks he'll be in Amsterdam mid April and could add a flight in and out of there to Houston cheaper than from Milan. He also wants to see Liz's company show on the 28th. If it's a perfect world, which living in Italy we have doubts, Jeff and I will return via Amsterdam, and lay over there a few days. I've lost track of the air fare search engines, best prices and where will who be coming froms!
But I'm excited at the prospects of being on the move again!
If not before Easter, I should have loads of time to post pictures after I get back from Greece.
Which leads me to another important questions. Which way is preferable to view pictures? I used to use a slideshow on the side, and now have tried less pictures posted separately, and the new 'smile show' or whatever it's called. If there is a preference let me know!
