Damn Plans

Someone said tonight that we are "moving to southern Italy". Sounds good, but that's not exactly the plan.

The plan: travel to Rome and then south to Calabria, where we will stay in Piminoro village, not far from Reggio Calabria in the deep south. Our home will be a small house belonging to Melissa's cousin. So far, that Someone was almost right.

Live for a short while in Piminoro, then travel back up through Italy to Santa Caterina, near Venice.

Just buzzing from the news tonight that we have been offerd another house in eastern Sicily, near Taormina, a town called Francavilla or Francavilla di Sicilia. So next we want to travel there and see lots of Sicily, and when my Mum comes to meet us there we will also go to Malta and hopefully Greece, all four of us.

The rest is a bit hazy, but includes a stint of working in the UK, including travels of Scotland and Ireland, then trips to Sweden and parts of Eastern Europe. At some point we will return to Piminoro or even Francavilla for a rest and recoup.

So no long-term living in southern Italy, more's the pity. Too much here for us at home.We may not be home til late next year.

Christmas 2008 in Australia or Europe? Hmmmmmmm
