This is actually a “full” holiday this time. Except for March break when I was 18, every other time I went to Europe I had to do something: present at a conference or sing with a choir as well as tour around. This time my wife and I will be staying in Firenza for a few days with a side trip to Pisa and then the other few days will be in Roma with a side trip to the Vatican city. The only thing I’m not looking forward to is the jet lag; however, we won’t have to sing the next day like the previous three trips.

I must remember to charge up the batteries and free up the memory of the digital camera before I go.
