Gratitude Friday: October

I used to feel a bit melancholy come this time of year: no more dips in the sea, making the switch from flip flops to boots, awaiting the first big storm to wipe out these fabulous sunny days and the anxiety of not knowing what next year will be like work-wise.  But this year I feel different, sort of having a "primavera" moment in autumn. I'm ready for a some down time or just time. To do things planned and unplanned.  

Thank you October, you arrived just in time!

Shameless Plug for the Business!

I am very pleased and excited to announce the re-launch of my web site, Bella Vita Italia, and the addition of new services.  Here all what we have to offer:

• Tailor-made Vacation Packages
  
• Trip Consultation
  
• Travel Concierge Services
  
• Weddings & Other Special Events
  
• Rentals on the Riviera (and a couple beyond)
  

It's been a very fun and busy first 5 years and 

am looking forward to many more!

P.S. The web site was designed by the fabulous www.melissadesign.com.

A Little Liguria Down in Calabria...

Well sort of!  Cherrye at My Bella Vita interviewed me for her travel series blogs.  Here it is. Grazie mille Cherrye!

By the way, if you make it down to "the toe", Cherrye and her husband run a lovely B&B in Catanzaro.

Happy Monday to All!
