Well, here it is the last day in Rome, and Edie is sick. So she is lying in bed resting, while I decided to come down to the lobby, and play on the internet.
I guess it's a good thing she waited till the last day to get sick. It would have been a real bummer if she had gotten sick earlier. It must have been all the walking we did in Rome, Florence and around Tuscany.
But all the walking is done now, since we're staying at the Rome Airport Hilton, and it is only a short walk to the terminal.
Once out of Rome, things calmed down considerably. We even found a wine festival, in the city of Panzano in Chianti, which was having a tasting of all the various wineries in the area. There were about 20. And as you might expect, some of the wines were very good and some not so good. It was still fun and a good way to taste a lot of wines without driving too much.
We only stayed in Tuscany 4 days (originally scheduled for 7) and then headed south towards Rome, and visited Montalcino, and then a little town called Bourgneggio in Civita. Both towns were really quaint towns, and made the entire trip to Italy worth while.
Next time I think we'll go some place that is not so hectic. Maybe to Tahiti or Hawaii again, we're we can just lie around the beach, and do nothing except eat, drink and sleep, and maybe play a round of golf if the urge should hit.
Ok, that's it for now. I just wanted to give a quick update since it has been a while since I had found easy access to the internet. I will give a complete report, with lots of pictures, once I get home and back to work, where I can really relax. :)

You'll have time to rest up once at work. Inventory is over, I got you all caught up on workmasters and received material. I ordered your new chair (which has arrived, but is not yet assembled) so you can have a comfy nap and I watered your lucky bamboo.
So, you're all set. I'll be in on Tuesday. Don't forget I get my epidural on Monday.
PS My baby (Jacob) turned 21 last week!!!!! I feel so old now. :-(
