The Beginning

Well the vacation is off to a great Italian start and we haven't even left Spokane.  Last night Carol and I decided to pretty up our toes for the trip and went to The Spa Paradiso at the Davenport Hotel for pedicures.  We were sitting in our robes in the Serenity Room, sipping on a great Cab and chatting about our trip and a man in a robe (a very familar looking man) comes in and wants to join the party!!  He was some what of a comedian and I kept on thinking "Who is this guy?  I know him from somewhere."  It was Ray Liotta!  What a great way to start off an Italian adventure. 

So we have a couple of days to finish the last packing details and will be on our way.  The Reeds will be leaving on Sunday and followed by the Hooffs on Monday. We hope to post an update in a few days.  Arrividerci.

The hooves (a.k.a feets) are very excited and privileged to be traveling with the reeds (a.k.a. grasses). Eating, drinking, and laughing our way across toscana is a challenge we both accept.
