Good afternoon/evening/morning Cuties wherever you are.

In about an hour's time Trevor and I are off to Sydney (going by train which is a 2 hour trip) then we catch another train to the International airport for our flight to Italy which doesn't leave till 9.00 tonight. Emirates wrote to us saying we only need to be there 1 and a half hours before boarding, so that's nice.

This is my birthday present from him. We will be away for 3 weeks and get back on my birthday the 10th October. We had to go during our Australian school holiday time as Trev is an Adult educator through TAFE (Technical and Further Education).

I'm so looking forward to our break as it's been a hectic year. What with us renovating the house and having tradesmen in etc. it will be nice to go and have some R&R.

There are a few of us on here away on holidays, but I will try to drop in occasionally depending on the wifi.

Hope everyone has a lovely Autumn. It's Spring downunder at the moment and just glorious weather, so I am looking forward to a bit of coolness and crisp days etc. Love and blessings Chris

P.S. I'll post some pictures etc. on Facebook and I know a couple of you on there.

Noi arrivare l'Italia presto!

Happy Birthday travels! What a wonderful gift as you have been working so hard to learn the language! I look forward to your pictures, though I am also sure the pictures will not be able to do justice of being there in person, as that will never be an option for me, I will at least be able to treasure the photos and the descriptions you give and especially appreciate you sharing your travels with us. Please be extra safe. Enjoy!! Pam

Thanks Pam, yes, I'm one very spoiled lady. Trev knows I'd love to live there to broaden my vocabulary but with all our family in Newcastle and still needing babysitting for another year it's out of the question. But I can dream and in Italian of course. Love ❤️ Chris

Have a safe trip Chris. My dad came from a small village just on the Italian side near Switzerland. Wish I was going there.
