Side trip to Italy

This trip has been in the making for 2 years. It was originally planned for September 2024 but was postponed to this September. After a long wait, we’re finally on our way to Italy, joining my brother Matthew and his wife Margie for a 4 week extravaganza!!

As I’ve done on previous trips, I’ll be continuing my blog, sharing photos and our adventures. Right now we’re at the Toronto Pearson Airport waiting for our 9:40pm flight direct to Rome. We arrive in Rome at 12:30pm Italy time! Stay tuned for much more once we reach the other side of the pond (without a boat!!)

We did a fun visit to the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto). Caroline and Evelyn came along for the fun.
Not the 2 ft long hotdog but a close 2nd coming in at 1 ft.
Sun setting through the old Horticulture building.
We had a few sewing jobs for the boat. Mark is working on a holder for our new Caribbean courtesy flags.
Getting into the spirit!!
