Laura and I want to take a moment to wish our families and all of our dear friends back home the very best and most heartfelt wishes for a wonderful Christmas. Even though we have been gone for quite a while, and the traveling has kept us quite busy, there truly has not been a day when we do not think of everyone and hope all is well. I am glad that so many have expressed their happiness of following the blog and allowing us all to keep in touch over the miles. We will be home in a few weeks and look forward to hugs and meals with everyone.
Merry Christmas everyone. We love you all.
Michael, Laura, Claire, & Alessandra

Merry Christmas!!!
Merry Christmas to you as well. Looks like you are having a ball. We have a cold day with lots of sunshine, feels great.
Have more and more adventures. I love Florence. Have you gotten to the villa we mentioned for wine tasting and shopping?
Buon Natale Michele! I am proud and envious at the same time – you guy are living l’Italia to the fullest – and not just as tourists! It seems as if you belong there – especially with your avid appreciation for all that the land has to offer, on all fronts.
I look forward to hearing about your New Year’s adventures in Roma.
Best of wishes and lots of love to you and Laura and your beautiful daughters.

p.s. la vespa is doing quite well – she is super appreciative of all the care and attention she has been getting – and seems to be a bit sad at the prospect of returning to Southampton. just sayin’……..
