Hello

[Andrew]

I'm following Pauline's birthday wish and registering here. I'm prominent on SlowTrav and am charged with keeping that board active, but it becomes increasingly difficult. I'm in the U.S. and spent early years in Italy, inspired by my mother who wanted to live in Europe (some time in France too). Now thinking of her as she died earlier this month.

Hi @Andrew - what a delight to see your post here! I know you have a lot of great Italy, and travel in general, information. I am sorry to hear the ST boards are slowing down. And my condolences for the loss of your mother.

I am so happy to see you here, Andrew! I look forward to your wise, useful and helpful posts. My sincerest sympathy in the loss of your mom. I cannot imagine the loss you must feel.

@Andrew, I have appreciated the airline advice you've given over on ST, and am happy that you are now here as well. I send my sympathy also for the loss of your mother.

I'm happy to see you here too, Andrew! I'm so sorry to hear about your mother.

Welcome aboard Andrew. You always give good advice on ST. I know those boards have been slowing down for years and are I think in their final gasp.

Hi Andrew,
Hope to see you and Margaret in Italy again before too long, maybe for dinner? We have 2 trips of 3 wks this year, mid-May and 1st of August.
Best regards,
Allen

Thanks for the thought. We'll be moving to Vermont in April, and aren't sure when the next trip to Italy will be.

Moving to Vermont! That will be exciting!
