I am almost ready to head off for Italy. Suitcase packed, helmet adjusted, and enough hours on the bike that I feel ready for the challenge ahead. I definitely have my sunscreen–got just a little too much sun on Sunday’s ride–and my reading material. My third Maggie O’Farrell–I think I have said here before how great her novels are. This one is After You’d Gone–I can’t wait to start it. Her works have engaging characters and subtle challenging plots. If you are at all intrigued, watch the video –and give one of her books a try. My second book is Kayak Morning—I have begun this one and I will let you read the review to see the wonders I have ahead.
I’ll be in Verona for a couple of days before we start cycling and then will finish up in Venice for a few more days. In the interval, if all goes as planned, I will be cycling through the northern Italian countryside, soaking in the beauties around me. If bad weather or other obstacles intervene, I will be on the barge enjoying the cuisine, the wine and the company. Either way, I plan to blog and take you along with me. So stay tuned.

Bon Voyage Xine!
Enjoy…looking forward to following you.

Christine,
Have a wonderful time. I will definately follow your travels as it’s one of my favorite places in the world. We once stayed in a B and B where Neil Young’s sister had stayed the week before. She brought her friends and they sat outside and played music and sang and drank wine every night in the vineyards. Wouldn’t you have loved being there ?
Bon Voyage and safe travels.

It’s now ‘tomorrow’ and your next adventure begins. It sounds wonderful. Italy is terrific on its own–to cycle through it will add another up-close dimension. Happy trails to you….
