Poggibonsi or Bust

We’re on our way – almost...

Saturday evening Lisa and I will be en route to meet friends in a lovely little villa just outside of Poggibonsi, a village in Tuscany about half-way between Florence and Siena.

Yes, I know – it seems like one of those wispy vacations invented by Jane Austin or by Hollywood for a romantic comedy: three couples sharing a country farmhouse for a week, including one couple that lives far away and hasn’t seen the others in years, another couple that’s just announced that they’re having their first baby, and a third couple consisting of “the new guy” in a woman’s life whom the first couple hasn’t met yet.

FOR CLARIFICATION: I’m “the new guy,” and Lisa and I are NOT the couple having a baby!

After our week in Tuscany with friends, Lisa and I will spend a week in an apartment in Rome – just the two of us. We have an extra night in between, and I’m surprising Lisa with an overnight stopover in...

Well – you’ll have to wait to find out, just like she does!

In the meantime, keep checking in to find out about:

• A potential flight delay caused by an Icelandic volcano...

• The meeting of friends in our cute villa...

• The historic sights we’re seeing...

• The fabulous wines we’re tasting...

• The incredible food we’re eating...

• And so much more...

Ciao!
