Laundry, Packing and Heading Back to Italy

by | Sep 23, 2011 | Fabulous Friday | 17 comments

Good morning, luvs!

It’s a beautifully sunny day in Amsterdam as I bustle about washing clothes, sorting toiletries, and getting last minute errands done before flying back to Italy tomorrow morning.

I will be there for the next two weeks with my dear friend and editor Margo from The Travel Belles and my fellow writers and adventurers Kathy from Food Lover’s Odyssey, Kate from Tales of A Brit Abroad and Katy from Starry-Eyed Travels. I’m so excited to finally get to meet them face to face and experience beautiful Italy together.

We’ll be learning all about the Piedmont area, exploring a rice farm, trying local dishes and recreating them in the kitchen, and challenging and inspiring each other in our writing and publishing pursuits.

I can’t wait!

I’ll be taking notes and pictures and will tell you all about it in the days ahead. 🙂

I hope you have a wonderful weekend, dear ones! Now I must get back to packing. 🙂
