Great News…
The Italian government today (April 22 2008 ) is to somehow (in contravention of EU rulings) advance Alitalia 300 Million Euros. This should keep Alitalia airborne for the next few weeks! Well, to the end of the year at least! So it looks like our trip is going to Go Ahead.

We have trekked back to Texas for the Northern summer but so far summer has gone missing. So much (again) for Global Warming.
In just over a week from now, we are heading to Italy to check things out there. This will be our first visit to Italy and it looks like being a lot of fun. We are touring with some friends from Texas and hope to enjoy some great wine and food there. Oh, yes, we are also going to take in some of the scenery and famous architecture.
There is one factor that may throw a spanner into the works though – The tour company have booked us on Alitalia for the flight across to Italy. Sadly Alitalia are having financial problems and it is rumoured that they may shut down whilst we are away. It is a long swim back to the US so we are hoping that this does not go wrong. Fingers crossed.
