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


Good luck on the business part.
Too bad you couldn't take a couple of your admirers along and jetson
them over the Atlantic. ;-)

I could drop Knuckles off in Panama on the way...

"jetson"? She should jettison your sorry ass over Haiti to give them
something to laugh about.

Look but don't touch. You're not ready.

For sightseeing on the Med you really can't beat Portofino. Better
yet, go to Barolo in the Piedmont region and try the wine.

I think you're right about me not being ready, but the two guys in our
little group are for sure. My role has be declared to be either winch
wench or dinghy captain.

I wonder what the difference in prices are, but I guess you then have
to get it to the US, pay the duty, etc.

I was thinking I might venture north from Rome. I've never been to
that area of Italy, and I have friends in the Nice (France) area, so
it would basically be in the neighborhood. Looks like it's about five
hours from Portofino to Nice, but we won't be in a rush at that point.

Trying the wine goes without says!

Actually less, the roads are quite good. Nice (actually Ville
Franche-sur-Mer) makes a nice base of operations for exploring the
French Riviera.

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.

D'Plume. in many of your driveled posts, you have hammered on Wayne
B harshly. Now you have the gall to ask advice from some one who you
have constantly criticized as one who knows nothing?

Besides, as much money as you plan to spend on your 'holiday' do you
care what toll roads costs? Are you really that much of a tight arse?
