Ok so as everyone knows typepad is not my best buddy so I will try to post in stages. I have been on my trip. I returned home Tuesday night but have been doing the family thing for a couple of days. So now I am trying to get back. I took a little over 1200 pictures so I will be uploading some of the over the next couple of days.
This post is for some of Italy and my great adventure. Note to the world when traveling within the European countries via easy jet you may have a 2 bag but you have to pay. I got hammered on this when leaving Rome. i tried everything but I was over I dumped what was needed bit still over weight so they charged me 33 euros for over the weight by 2.5 kilos. So than my second dimlenma I had 2 carry ons they stopped me and guess what made me check the second bag. I was so upset because I had placed one suitcase inside of the other to only have one in the first place when I could have had 2 each allowed 40lbs for only 18 euros. Instead those sweet dear airport people got me on both charges. Gotta love that irony not really but had to say it anyway lol. Ok so now back to my regular post.
I left France for Italy on Sunday with Carla, Martha, and Helena. Helena was so generous and kind to let me stay at her house and tour all of Roma until Friday. I spent my days visiting so many insanely beautiful places. an at night enjoyed the incredible cooking of Franco and his yummy lemonchello. I think that stuff might be just slight bit strong lol. Than I would try to sleep but boy my clock was still so off. I am trying to edit the photos but it is taking longer than I expected so once they are done I will add a link for all the amazing sights of Rome I could see in just a few days. So after touring Rome we took off for this amazing hotel looks like a beautiful inn overlooking Rome for the event on Saturday and Sunday.
Class started at 1:30 on Saturday and I taught 2 classes. The Dream album and the los class. The lo class was the busiest we had a full house. After these 2 wonderful classes we headed out for dinner at this divine restaurant the food was so good, Helena said she had trouble from the food but I did not so it was great. Than about 9 of us went down for a PJs party and hung out for about an hour longer. I saw some beautiful albums and projects that were being created. Finally crawled into bed. I slept like a rock until oh the bells the Sunday church bells ringing 50 plus times in a row. I was so startled I almost jumped out of my skin. At least at that point I was wide awake and ready to face my day. I got up had breakfast and got ready for the paintables class. This class is so much fun to teach because everyone finds there inner artist. they get so wrapped up in how much fun they are having the time flies by. The last class of the day was my Christmas very merry Christmas album. This one can be challenging and take a while to complete but oh my goodness they rocked it out of the house. I loved meeting each and everyone of you amazing ladies and one super cool dude. I already miss all the fun we had.
