Emin dines out on that one all the time!<BR/>I watched Hidden last week with Daniel Auteil, he is just an amazing actor, very odd film though.indigo16https://www.blogger.com/profile/16982477144454205765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-14506311531866677442008-02-23T07:46:00.000-08:002008-02-23T07:46:00.000-08:00Tara: I knew that's when you'd be away and I'm dis...Tara: I knew that's when you'd be away and I'm disappointed we won't be able to meet this year. In fact, I'd almost tried to work our holiday around your dates, but that's not realistic for coordinating with our trip to Portugal, long booked in tandem with my daughter and her husband. Next year, I hope.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-35392168259143454282008-02-23T01:33:00.000-08:002008-02-23T01:33:00.000-08:00Oh and I quite like seeing the foggy pictures - I ...Oh and I quite like seeing the foggy pictures - I miss the fog in San Francisco.

She just got her itinerary so I have been checking out her hotels on tripadvisor and others. Probably not a good idea but I can't stop myself. Would have been wise to stop reading when they started talking about the prostitutes outside the hotel in Rome...and the "swarmy" clerk at reception..I am not going to worry...I am sure that my young daughter will ensure the safety of all her classmates, whether they like it or not. They spend their first night in Milan, then onto Venice, Florence and they will be in Rome during Holy Week and for Easter Sunday.<BR/>Your trip sounds amazing. <BR/>KathAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-36775215298305901012008-02-21T18:43:00.000-08:002008-02-21T18:43:00.000-08:00great pictures.

If you want scary try No Country for Old Men, now that's a bad guy.<BR/>Lucky you on your upcoming trip. Are you like me and love the anticipation of it. I drive Kacey and Erica both crazy with this as neither of them like to get excited until almost the day of departure, weird.<BR/>HilaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-19436669140499792122008-02-21T14:11:00.000-08:002008-02-21T14:11:00.000-08:00Ah Before Sunrise/Before Sunset.
