Hi All,
Here is the start of my blog.  Amy had to help me of course and here is what I had to buy her to bribe her for her services. 
We leave in 5 days and my list of things to do is extensive, least of all is the organisation of all of the pets.
The itinerary is landing in Rome and two days later going on a two week tour of Italy, seeing Pompeii, Sorrento, Isle of Capri, Assisi, Classe, Venice, Verona, Milan, Lake Maggiore, Lake Como, Lake Maggiore, Pisa, Florence, Siena.  So you can see we will see lots.  We then move on to our friends in Munich and see some of West Germany, Nuremburg, Wursburg, Cologne and then down to Lucerne and Zurich in Switzerland.  On our way home we stop in Dubai for a couple of nights. 
I know the month will go super quick but you know how much we can fit into that time and I will endeavour to keep the blog interesting.  Please give feedback as this is my first blog.
On that note it is off to work through the list.
Until next time.
Jenny
