For several years now we have been working toward a goal of traveling to Italy as part of a sabbatical for Warren and leave of absence for Amy. This Spring our dream came true as we accepted positions teaching at the School Year Abroad site in Viterbo, Italy, a small city of 60K people about an hour and a half bus/train ride north of Rome. This blog is intended to chronicle our trip for our friends and relatives.
At this point we have made substantial progress in our preparations. We have secured our leaves, found caretakers for our house and cats, arranged for Diesel to stay with the Santiago family and purchased our airline tickets. We are working on the purchase of a car and bicycles for use while we are in Italy. All that remains of the planning is to arrange for our visas. We can't schedule our appointments at the Italian Consulate in Boston until we are within 90 days of our intended departure so we will be waiting until mid-May to do that based on a departure date of 16 August.
During the run up to our departure we will be updating periodically whenever anything of import happens. Bookmark now and prepare to enjoy la dolce vita with us.
