Looking Forward

Considering it’s after 11:30 p.m. and I have to wake up super early tomorrow to drive to Lancaster for board meetings, this post is going to have to be brief.  For brevity’s sake, I am limiting myself to five quick items:

  1. Italy:  We haven’t booked the flights yet, but we’re going in the very end of September through the second week of October!  I just started Rosetta Stone Italian so that I will at least have some familiarity with the language by the time we get there.  SO EXCITED–we’re currently thinking of visiting Venice, Florence (day trips to Tuscany and Pisa), Rome and Positano.  There’s also a coast town of Maratea that is supposed to have amazing, little known beaches, so maybe we’ll try to squeeze that into our 2 week tour.
  2. Niagara Falls:  Rob just booked a [great] deal for a 2 night hotel stay for four on the Canada side of the Niagara Falls.  My best friend and her husband agreed to go with us at some TBD date in the Spring.  YAY!!!
  3. I have off Monday for President’s Day and Rob is taking off for a fun 3-day weekend this weekend.  We’re going to stay Saturday and Sunday nights in a hotel in Wilmington, DE and take Sunday to visit Longwood Gardens.  We’ve been meaning to go to Longwood Gardens together since… well, for several years.  We’re FINALLY going!
  4. Next weekend, Rob and I are going to visit my best friend and her husband in Pittsburgh.  We haven’t been out to visit them in a while, so I’m excited!
  5. Tonight I went to a networking event with the partner I work for–a scotch tasting.  Not a fan of scotch, but I did try a sip of a 21 year old Macallan.  My dad and husband would be jealous!  Personally, the only difference I noticed was that it burnt a little less going down.

And now, to bed!
