Any thoughts???" Yes, I think that all sounds brilliant! “I want to swim, sit by the pool, read, walk and visit the lake villages that I have always rushed through. Any thoughts???”

I've had more friends of my Mom's than my own friends. I'm scheduled to work in Paris in November. Je parle francais aussi. Vraiment seulement un peu maintenant parce que je parle italien tous (tout?) les jours. If you're not in Jordan, would love to meet.

Why don't we go to the Pyramids? And you know, we've never been to Rome together. I just found this villa in a hazelnut farm Lazio... maybe that would be good for my 40th b'day? http://www.rentvillas.com/PropertyDetail.aspx?Catalog=1901 Ciao mamma! Thanks, Mom!

My mom came with my aunt and uncle to visit me in France and I took her to London, but she is not very adventurous, when it comes to travel. I think she would have liked to be, but circumstances were different for her. It's odd that living in Paris, practically everyone I've ever met has been to visit - but my brothers and sister don't travel outside the US. Guess I got all the wanderlust in the family!

You might not know but I was bitten with the travel bug in 3rd grade when I did a project on the Pyramids. I can remember sitting in class looking at all the projects taped on the wall thinking "This is a big, interesting World and I plan to see it". Then a Latin teacher in high school taught your Dad and I to love anything Roman which was quickly followed when your Aunt Patsy became an airline "stewardess" for Pan Am, blue suit, white golves, hat and all. Her adventures dared me to dream. For me travel will always be so many things: Learning about new ways of doing things, seeing people living in different ways, and appreciating what I have and do not have, and being completely removed from the boredom of knowing what will come next. I love the excitement of not knowing what is around the corner! I am happy you have inherited that gene, even for all the upheaval it causes sometime, your adventures are making you a very intersting woman!
