Italy, Here We Come
posted on october 15, 2004, tag: vacation
Later tonight we head to Italy. A last-minute vacation opportunity presented itself and we jumped at the chance. We're going to meet Katia's parents in Sicily. They've been in Italy for a week already and we're going to meet up and drive around Sicily and enjoy the warm Italian breeze for a week before coming back to a cold NYC winter. The plan is to arrive (after several layovers) in Catania, meet up with Katia's parents and then drive in a clockwise motion around the island, eventually ending up in Palermo. We'll be back on October 23.
Between planning the vacation and working on upcoming film scripts, there hasn't been much time for this site. Such is life. The time I have had has been spent getting the Codebase ready for its first release (which will happen a short while after I get back). I've finalized pricing details and I am looking forward to getting it out there and seeing what happens.
I also finally bought a new digital camera after 8 months of going back and forth and saving money: The Nikon D70. There were a lot of considerations involved and I think I made the right choice. The camera is amazing, and I can't wait to run it through its paces on this trip. It's really great to be back on an SLR system and to feel like I'm actually using a camera. With luck, I'll be able to print some of the photos I take in Italy, which is something I could not have done with my last camera but have been yearning to do for a long time.
I'll see you in 7 days.

Enjoy Italy. It really is a magnificent place, although I spent most of my time on the mainland, in Rome, Florence, Venice, Trieste, and Milan rather than Sicily.

Have a good time. My gf and I plan on taking a trip to Europe sometime next summer and were hoping to venture over that way.
Post some good pictures!
