Paradoxically, the time before we go seems to both fly when it comes to getting everything done but to drag when we anticipate arriving in Italy. Our plans seem to be coming together. We have disposed of two of our vehicles. My Mom took back the Sebring that she had given me 4 years ago and Amy's niece had been in the market for a skooter so she took the Vespa. That just leaves stripping the coverage back on the mini to nothing and putting it in the garage. Tony and Michael have been by several times and are figuring out where everything is in the house. The going-away parties continue. Maggie hosted a very nice gathering over the weekend for family and friends. That should be the last "official" party, but our departure is so imminent that each goodbye said to a friend or neighbor is that much more likely to be the last until our return - unless they visit us in Italy. Don't even get Amy started on saying goodbye to the pets!
Speaking of pets, today we need to chase Diesel's vet records so that Orlando has them and continue to gather his supplies. Then there is a bit more packing to take place and a few more small projects around the house. Finally comes the biggest decision of the day, which of our favorite restaurants do we want to hit tonight for the last time before our departure?
