Well it is finally here, the realization of my dream begins today! My plane leaves Montreal at 7:30 this evening and I arrive in Rome art 9:30 Italy time, which is really 3:30 in the morning for me. I am having a hard time believing it is actually happening. After planning and dreaming of this for so long I have butterflies in my stomach and am more than a little nervous as well. I have to keep reminding myself to take one step at a time so that I do'nt feel overwhelmed. I am most concerned with driving for 3 hours once I arrive in Rome. I have decided to avoid the Autostad and take the back roads instead, so that I can take my time.
Let the adventure begin!!
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.
