Destinations

Departure is imminent; only four days before I board my flight for bell’Italia. Packing is underway, the to-do list is shrinking and the freezer is filling up with meals for the loved ones I am leaving behind. It’s not a relaxed time however: as always I am anxious about the unforeseen, the unknown and whether my Italian is good enough.

In four days. . . Isabella

Hello and welcome to my travel journal. In about four weeks I leave for bell’Italia on another adventure. My destination this time is the beautiful city of Verona, a major city in the Veneto region of italy.

For now, I am in preparation mode: flights, insurance, essential items, cooking for those left behind and getting the house in order. It seems that every time I travel, I clean, tidy and reorganise like a mad woman, wanting everything to be shipshape in my absence. I am also coming to grips with blogging, a new experience for me, so I hope you will suspend judgement and perhaps be rewarded with insightful comment and beautiful pictures.
