It’s been a while since I’ve checked, read or posted on the Forum.
We returned from our 2 1/2 years living in Italy in November 2020. We hadn’t planned a trip back to Europe yet as we just couldn’t do a two week trip after living there, and hadn’t figured out a good option to take care of our Barley the Labrador for more than a couple weeks.
So today, it’s falling into place. My brother used trusted house sitters this summer for their pets/animals this summer and raved about the couple they used. So after contacting them today, found out they are doing stays within 10 miles of our house in the next two weeks. So we have chance to meet them, see how they are with Barley and discuss a 4-5 week stay next fall.
Yeahhh! A trip back to Europe.
Most of our unused Covid Vouchers were ferries, which we never used. However, we had a voucher for Contours Hadrian’s wall hike. They agreed to extend the expiration date from Dec 22 to Dec 23. So we will plan on the hike, time in Scotland, then northern Italy, then Sicily in Sept to October.
We’ve done a lot traveling the US in our camper van with Barley. But am excited to starting thinking about Europe again. I realized I haven’t been in a plane since our return to US in Nov 2020.
