Preparations for the Euro Tour - I

As we are preparing for the next "Grand European Tour" with Max the tool-boy I thought it might be fun (and easier for me anyway) to save myself the trouble of emailing the latest stories from Austria and Germany including all the details of how grandmother Inge is finally getting Max to go potty and how grandmother Monika will once again put me in the impossible situation of being the mother to my son and simultaneously her daughter who better be home by 11 pm - or else.

We are treating ourselves to the selfish luxury of a week in Italy despite both sets of grandparents best efforts to derail this plan. Every possible excuse from imminent natural catastrophes to heart attacks and "strange food" were evoked. The good thing about your parents being 6,000 miles away is that they can't meddle actively with your affairs and so a house in Tuscany was rented anyway. It will be fun to see how Max copes with Italian which is similar to but still different from Spanish.

Anyway, I just set this blog up today and had to write something. Mainly to see whether I like the design I choose. More later.
