I am finally back home after spending the last 2 weeks working in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Isn't it ironic that I live in Prince Edward County and am working far away in Prince Edward Island. This work came out of nowhere, just in time to help finance my trip to Italy. I believe everything happens for a reason, and I humbly thank the universe for this gift it has given me. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to make some extra money and to visit the one province I had not been in before. PEI is beautiful..and yes, the soil really is red!.
I can't believe I will really be in Italy again in just 3 months time! The time is going by so quickly. The dream is becoming a reality. My biggest fear is that I will be so in love with Tuscany that I won't want to come back home. Perhaps there will be many more trips there, or even a property there of my own. Do I dare to dream it? This visit is the realization of a long term dream, so I do know that dreams can come true, so perhaps....one day.......
Ciao for now.
Musings regarding my preperations for my trip to Tuscany in the fall of 2011. I will continue to post a running commentary of my activities while I am in Tuscany.
Castelmuzio

Castelmuzio is the town I will call home for 3 months. Only 240 residents that dont speak much English..it will be like playing sherades!
About Me
- Diane
- Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada
- I am a retired Canadian woman who enjoys travel, art, music, family and retired life. I have so many things I want to do and experience now that I have the freedom to do so. In July 2010 I retired after 30 years of public service. I moved away from the city and settled in beautiful Prince Edward County on Lake Ontario. In August 2011 I met the man I want to spend the rest of my life with, and we have been inseparable ever since. I am living the life I have always dreamed of and I am so grateful for all the blessings in my life.

Hi Dianne, you are so right, the world and fate move in strange ways but if we take the opportunities given to us life can be great. Every time you make a new posting send me an email. I am so envious that you have had the courage to "get up and go" to do all this I hope it works out even better than you imagine
