Travel Plans

Amy and I will be doing a lot of travelling in the coming months. We head to Rome again this Friday, hit Malta for a week at the end of the month and then spend a few days at the Cinque Terre in early April. We will also undoubtedly take a few weekend trips as well.

We have one confirmed visitor lined up for May and others cuing up for the late spring and early summer. My friend, Sam Ladley, will be coming with his wife Beth and will stay with us over the last two weekends in May bracketing a trip to the Rome area and south. I haven’t seen Sam in 20+ years but reconnected with him on Facebook awhile back. Meeting Sam when I was but a little shaver is my earliest memory, so it will be exciting to spend time with him and see where life has taken him.

We are working out the details of an early June trip to Amsterdam for a bike and barge tour followed by an Arctic Circle cruise around Norway. The rest of the summer is still up in the air, but we are hoping to visit Amy’s relatives in Germany and perhaps spend some time in France again as well. All in all, it will be an interesting time.

We switched our return plane tickets so we now know that we will return to the US on August 1st. However, many of you reading this already know the exciting news. We will be returning to Italy approximately two weeks later to spend a second year here! I have been granted an unpaid leave of absence by WSU and will be teaching a full slate of math classes. Unfortunately, it means that Amy will be returning to the US without a job. We have no idea what that means in the long run, but will need to work it out.
