Gina in NY

FINALLY! I've been asking to go to Italy (I'm first generation american, dad came over on the boat) since I could talk! FINALLY I'll be going to Venice in March. Also Vienna and Budapest. My son is in a very fine children's choir and they'll be performing in each of the cities mentioned. He had to audition to be part of the trip, as not all the kids can go and he made it. Thank GOODNESS. I'm so excited. Of course, I just blew all my money on plastic surgery and a new bike, but I'll take out a little loan to get us there.

I am beside myself!! Just found out today!

Woohoo!! So much good stuff happening this year! New house, new bike, new tummy, trip to Montreal, trip to Italy - I'm in heaven!! Dang life is good!

When I first saw the thread posting, I thought, "Oh Hell no. She's gone completely round the bend now--riding her bike to Italy???"

Congratulations on having such a great year and being gifted with such abundance. I envy your good fortune and hope fate has us next in line for such wonderous gifts!

You go Grrl! (and congratulations to your musical son--I'm sure he sings like an angel!)

Gina, congrats to you and il bambino - you're going to have a fabulous time on your trip and will be in amazing shape for sightseeing and running around (or floating around on le gondole, in the case of Venice), not to mention driving the Venetian men pazzi with your bellezza!
