She will arrive by freighter and back-pack around using her thumb to

I've got several emails into my friends there. It should be a blast,
and they should be back from their vacation by then.

Do you have any idea what the toll roads cost? I've heard it's not
cheap.


Stay out of Switzerland. Or at least stay off the Swiss autobahns.

we'll be looking at some sailboats in Italy.


What will you boys do without me?! The horror, the horror...


Sure hope you find a sailboat you like!


We won't be buying one there, but ideas don't require import duties.


Italy truly is a wonderful country to visit. What parts are on your
itinerary?


Well, it's mostly Rome and surrounding area, but now I'm thinking of
Florence and possibly visiting SE France (friends near Nice).


Do some skiing on the great slopes of the Dolomites.


I've snow ski'd in the Tirolian Alps before. Wow is that beautiful!


Garmisch?

Not to worry...you'll shortly be on the "don't bother to read" list,
along with most of your trashy right-wing buds.

I refer to him as another stupid-ass spoofer who's trying to make
himself look bigger than he really is.

Got to:

http://en.mappy.com/#p=itinerary_homepage

Plugin your departure and arrival cities and viola, tolls are calculated
along with other trip information.


Nice link.. thanks! Doesn't seem that expensive, although I think I'd
prefer to take our time and not do freeways if possible.

Why? (Not planning on going but I'm curious... Germany was pretty
easy, as far as roads go last time I was there.)

Don't be nasty now. I've had nothing but good things to say about you.
Please look up the term spoofer, and use it correctly, before I have to
call you a dumb ass moron. :-)
How big would be big enough to satisfy you?

When touring N. Italy I went though it but didn't do any skiing there
John. But did a lot of skiing around Innsbruck Austria.
