Italy Trip is confirmed

The trip to Italy has been confirmed. Attended a briefing by the tour agency this afternoon. The briefing was quite detailed and helpful for inexperienced travellers like me. Now we are all excited about the trip except when we were given cold shower such as "why not China?'' kind of comments. I foresee myself going on lonesome trips (provided I could afford and still strong enough) when the kids grow up.

Shall not dwell on the negative for now. Need to find out more about Italy and get prepared - cold wear for Alexus, shoes etc...Besides getting souvenirs, also hope to get something special from Italy as Richard's and Janet's birthdays are around the corner.
