First of all let me say that I do have the most amazing husband and daughter in the world. Their love for me is astounding. Some people go thru life without ever finding "their person". I've been lucky enough to have found mine many, many years ago. And "our person" together is Nance. She's our pride! We love her to distraction. What a wonderful gift she is to us!!<BR/><BR/>Now enough about them, let me tell you about my trip. It was everything Nance said it was and much, much more. You would never believe how suprised I was and still am. It's seems now, like it was all a dream. But I promise it wasn't. It took me the entire flight from XNA to Atlanta to calm down and figure out we were on our way to Italy. When that finally hit me I was pretty excited. Both Nance and Kristen slept the entire way over, but put yourself in my shoes and you'd know that I could't sleep at all. So they were rested when we got there and I wasn't....must be getting old....never too old to travel. Molly, Jimmy and their kids are great hosts. Especially Jimmy. I told him he was very brave to put up with 3 high maintenance women like us. He simply laughed and said it was no problme....what a man! And by high maintenance I mean all the hair straightening that had to take place before we ever left their house to go anywhere. It was a free for all everymorning and very interesting to see who had the best hair....nobody won we all had funky hair. But did'nt slow us down. (much) The town of Asolo is everything you might think of. Small, romantic, beatuiful, quaint, history filled and filled with great looking men. Molly and Jimmy were wonderful and told us some very interesting stories about Asolo. FYI Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning lived there and died and are buried there. They actually know the people who live in their house now. To me that's just amazing. So Aslol was wonderful, just wonderful. Venice was ....Venice. Just like the movies, pictures and everything in your mind. I do have to admit that we didn't see everything there was to see there, but at that point shopping was high on our list. Venice, what a place to shop. I know this is going to sound weird, but....Both Asolo and Venice were so clean...I've been all over Europe and never have I seen such clean cities. That must be one of those "old" things. Let's get to that shall we. I AM NOT OLD! When Nance was telling about the train....well let me say that I've been in London before when the train did leave us standing there, because we were'nt fast enough!! and we had to wait another hour for antoher train. So talk to me about being old! I'm simply being prepared. And I cluthed my purse the whole time because Molly and Jimmy got "hit" in Vinice a few years ago at the airport and had all their passports stolen and Italy is know for that. So I'm not Old, I'm just safe. AND when we got home, Jerry, my husband and Nance's father were young enough to play a little game we like to call Alexandro and the lost American tourist. Now that's not OLD!!!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, what a great trip. A trip of a lifetime. Nance pretty much summed up what we did the entire trip on this blog. But what she didn't tell you is all the wonderful memories I will always have with me. I can truly say that the only thing that would have made this trip any better was if Alexandro was with me!!!<BR/><BR/>Holly<BR/>(Mom)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540940522557431674.post-91072446471288018722007-03-05T11:00:00.000-06:002007-03-05T11:00:00.000-06:00So, where are the comments from "Mom."

I joke (but am mostly serious) that I was born in the wrong country. The jolly, friendly people (who love food and naps :)) The smells, the noise, the fresh pasta, herbs, wine...YUM! SO FUN! I am THRILLED you got to take this trip. I loved reading every detail. I love that you have a Mom you love enough to surprise and travel with, a heart friend that is walking beside you and a supportive husband. You are a charmed girl for sure. I am thanking the sweet Lord for you! Have a safe trip home! Oh and I MUST see the pictures!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11535473957210265494noreply@blogger.com
