I am back home from Charlottetown and although it is a lovely city, I was very happy to leave and make my way home. As it turned out there were long delays due to the Royal Couple landing in Ottawa that morning. Instead of arriving at 7:00 PM I did not arrive in Ottawa till almost midnight.
I spent a great deal of time on Monday changing my travel plans due to the issue with my stay exceeding 90 days. Changing my flights was costly, $400.00 change fee. However I discovered that by flying on Sundays the fares were the same as my original flights. So for anyone travelling to Europe compare the flights carefully, I expected fares to be the least expensive during the week but that is not the case. Travel on Sundays!
My new dates for my trip are leaving Canada on September 4th and arriving in Rome on Septmeber the 5th, 2011. I return from Italy on December 4th, 2011. There is still lots of time available if anyone would like to join me.
Cioa!

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.
