I Love My Travel Icon
Once again I have fallen off the face of the internet. This time it was mostly due to seeing internet people in real life. (I know! What sort of madness is this?!)
I spent a couple weekends at
kinetikatrue's place meeting many people I have seen around online and having ridiculous fannish conversations with them.
Also I attended the Big Fat Lesbian Pirate Wedding Reception (US version) for my dear friends
ell and
temve and caught up with several other internet folks.
Now I am getting ready to fly to Italy for a vacation with my friend and coworker, Kim, so I will once again be rather absent from the internet. If anyone has any suggestions on things to do/eat/buy while in Rome, Florence, Siena, Bologna, or any other part of Tuscany, let me know. We only have a few solid plans right now. 1. We have tickets for the Vatican Museum, so we'll probably go around other parts of Vatican City as well. 2. We are going to Siena for one of the days of the Palio di Siena horse race festival. 3. Wine tasting at a winery owned by Sting (I did not plan this one.) and at another winery that has very good reviews. 4. Spend part of a day at a hot springs spa south of Florence. 5. Eat delicious food, especially gelato. 6. Drink delicious wine.
