I'm Back From Vacation in Italy And It's Time To Get To Work.

Mama Mia!!  Two glorious weeks in Italy have put me so far behind in business that I don't know if I will ever get enough done for all the shows I am scheduled for this year.  But....this girl wouldn't have given up this vacation for anything.  It's the trip of a lifetime.  My Husband and I and our two wonderful friends jaunted around Southern Italy, Rome, Florence and the Tuscany area and boy....what a blast.  Life there is so different, so wonderful, so family oriented.  I didn't want to come home.  So, I thought that you would like to see a few pictures of the wonderful places we visited.  If you ever have the chance, go for it.  It shouldn't be missed.

More to come but for now I want to say again Mama Mia -- if you ever have the chance to go to Italy DO IT....life is too short to think about it....as Nike says, JUST DO IT. 

If you have been and have memories (ok now I know you are humming Barbra Streisand...) please feel free to post them here.  We are planning another trip there in a few years and would like some more input on other places to go in this glorious country.
I am planning a giveaway too for the upcoming Fall season....stay tuned in....

Much love and peace
Michelle

  2. Hi Michelle, welcome back and gorgeous photos.
    I have been on a few of those kinds of Vacations where you just have to 'MAKE YOURSELF COME BACK'... not that home isn't good...but the vacation was better!

  6. Hi there Michelle, We lived in Southern Italy for 3 years back in 99-01..while it was a beautiful place to visit...sites and certainly the food was the most outstanding that we have ever eaten..it was not a fun place to live..Naples is the dirtiest place on earth..they do not care about their environment or their animals...it was sad to see..the only good thing that came from italy in my opinion was the 3 cats we brought back from there..;)it is a great place to visit..just not to live..Now if you want a beautiful place to visit..that you died and went to heaven I suggest going to Ireland..we did Dublin and downward on the map..we stayed in a big castle called the Kinnity Castle and if walls could talk..Ireland made living in italy worth it..:) it was glorious hands down..so was scotland..but too spendy..
