Italy or Bust

Today I'm on my way to a two-week course on Medieval Christianity in Orvieto, Italy, and my hubby is on his way to Africa. But for a few days before we get to work, we plan to stop and play. (Our daughter is away on staff at a summer camp in Kansas.)

On Monday, he and I celebrate our 35th anniversary. So while a friend enjoys our house, and the A/C works overtime in Texas, we plan to be off on the Amalfi Coast of Italy for a few days before getting to work. Think Vesuvius and Herculaneum.

Because we booked separate work trips before we figured out a way to play together, we are scheduled to take different flights. I leave several hours before he does, and I change planes in Philly. He goes all the way to Amsterdam before changing flights. So on the front end, he's stuck waiting for his flight to start, and on the back end, I'm stuck for about four hours in the Rome termini waiting for him to arrive. Think I should spend the time making something like his gone-viral video?
