Here I am again, at SFO, or San Francisco international. I’m sitting with all these excited passengers, ready to go to Paris. Don’t they look thrilled to be here?
Flying used to be a big deal. We’d wear nice clothes. We’d be excited. I still get a thrill, knowing I’m off on a new adventure – and I am! I’m flying to Paris on the Air France #83, then will transfer to a flight to Bologna, Italy, where I’ll meet up with my friend Ann from England. I’ll be on the Airbus 380, in the upper level this time in a seat known as <<première économie>>! I got deal when I booked with the Overseas Adventure Travel people: airfare was free and upgrades to this class was $50 per flight I checked the website for Air France and the cost was 900€ per flight! Oh là là – did I get a deal, or what? Ann is flying from London and our planes touch down at about the same time. We will be on our own for a few days, then will join a tour of Bologna, Parma and Ravenna, then meet up for the main tour in Lucca.
This is not a big city tour we will go to Florence – briefly – and Siena, but the bulk will be spent with travel in the countryside, which should be good photo ops, good tastings of food and wine, and a good time for all. If you’d like to see the day to day itinerary, go to Overseas Adventure Travel and find TUSCANY AND UMBRIA: RUSTIC BEAUTY I will be your tour guide, with insights and hopefully we will have some fun along the way.
It’s almost time to board! Addiamo!
Wonderful! I canmot wait to see photographs of beautiful architecture, beautiful interiors and beautiful food!

I’ll do my best!
Good times, Karen.
I checked out your itinerary and now await your input.
Have fun!
We’re on our own before the pre-tour for three days to get our bearings and, for me, get over jet lag. Managed to sleep more than my usual four hours the first night so I’m ahead of the game.
