IT LIVES!
We’re dusting off the travel blog for our upcoming vacation to Italy! We thought it was a good idea for a few reasons:
1. We’ll be away for 10 days, so that’s enough time to do some meaningful blogging, instead of just a couple quick status updates on Facebook.
2. My mom is STILL NOT ON FACEBOOK! Seriously.
3. We didn’t blog too extensively during the last trip from the locations we’re going on this trip, so perhaps we’ll have something interesting to say.
We’ll be spending a week in Tuscany and 3 days in Rome with our friends Dan and Hanneke. They’ve never been to Italy, so we’re pretty excited to show them some of the places we loved from our last trip, find some new great places, and just generally have fun.
You can expect to see new pictures from Dave, and I’m sure I’ll have some sort of embarrassing story to tell from the journey. In fact, I already have one:
Last Friday at work, we had a fire drill and I fell down some stairs. As I was falling, all the images from our last trip to Italy of me being on crutches and Dave pushing me in a wheelchair came rushing back in. However, I lucked out – only bruises and scrapes from this little fall. So, as of today, I’m a-ok for the trip.
Didn’t you miss us? 😉
We’re out of here on the redeye from Boston to Rome, so we’ll be in Italy tomorrow morning. Talk to you soon!

Hey guys!
Have a blast, and a double-espresso for me.

Was the title of this post intended to be a clever double entendre? You are so effortlessly brilliant 🙂
Meredith;
Just want to ask if you were in proper shoes during the fire drill? If the drill was pre announced do you have alternative footwear at work in case of the need/opportunity for some exercise…. such as climbing or descending by stairway? Is there a rope ladder or slide alternative in your building? Could a firefighter be assigned to carry you out?
Love Dad
P.S. Mom and I are looking forward to visiting soon…
