Travel Updates

December 4-22, 2024 - We cruised from Civitavecchia (Rome) to Fort Lauderdale on Princess Lines.

November 7, 2024 - We spent a few days in Rome with the kids before we went to Tuscany. Winslet was very impressed with the Colosseum.

September 7 -November 6, 2024 - We stayed in my cousin Ellen's family's house in Istanbul, Turkey. The house is on the shore of the Bosporus Straight. It was amazing living here.

September 6, 2024 - We are staying in Tirana, Albania from September 2 until September 9. Tirana is a large city of 2 million people. We have a very nice apartment in the center of the city. It is possible to walk most places like grocery stores, restaurants and tourist sites.

August 15, 2024 - We've been living in our apartment in Palombaro for the past couple of weeks. The town is small and quiet. There are many hiking trails in the area and within the Maiella National Park that we are very close to.

July 10, 2024 - This morning when we walked down to the corner, we found our rental car windshield smashed. Fox Rent a Car was excellent. They had a replacement car delivered right away. I'm glad we had the insurance.

June 25, 2024 - Today we loaded the truck. We'll drive to Austin, TX on Friday and we'll unload the truck at Amelia's and Sam's houses and at a storage unit to be determined. (It was hot today.)

June 13, 2024 - A few months ago we decided to sell our house and most of our things and travel full-time. We are going to drive a truck with some furniture and things the girls want to Austin. We'll spend a few weeks with them and then we plan on flying to Italy to begin our adventure.
