...I'll invite at dinner my fav BBs members. We'll have fusilli al sugo, salame, potatoes, salade, gelato and cannoli. We'll drink red and white wine and we'll have an espresso to finish. Then we'll watch the GF trilogy in English with Italian subtitles and have a lot of fun.

The question is when this is going to happen, not if.

Yes, Mary Cas. Maybe Lav needs to specify who her favs are before we all start buying our airplane tickets.

2000 dollars? Gosh.... You could come in a group. It's cheaper.

Does this price sound better for anyone?

The New York Post was running an online promo to win a trip to Italy. So I'm going to win.

Check out Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel (they send me weekly emails, but I deleted all them) trip to Florence - Venice, six nights (3 each) and train ticket - $549 round trip. There might be one to Rome!

I just checked and I have to apply for a visa three months in advance, which can be denied btw. That's apart from the flight expenses and trying to get a vacation from my job. You can invite me safely. I couldn't come. :p

It would be awesome to go as a group with you guys. But I'd have to go to Sicily and look around. :p

Well, TIS, I'm sure that Beth and I can make some more room in the suitcase for you. Then we can enjoy our vino in Taormina.

Apparently someone would like to have lasagna as well. Ok, we'll have two first courses. Lasagna AND fusilli. Be sure you have enough room in your stomach, guys. When you are in Italy you HAVE to eat. It would be very rude to eat like a sparrow!

BTW, JM. Your presence would be absolutely necessary. No JM no dinner, ok?

Thank you, my dear, but, you know, intellectual conversation spoils even the best Italian appetite. I must be banished from dinners. Well, If only I could reach Rome by bicycle...
