The Boedies are enjoying Cody We’ve seen part of Yellowstone and dropped Dude off at Boy Scout Summer Camp . . . if you ask me, he was a little too excited and willing to leave us for a week to go camping! Something about merit badges and canoeing and trading posts and the [...]

About 2 months ago, I got to go on a trip to Italy for work . . . remember that? If you want to refresh your memory, feel free to check out Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, and Day 6. For me, it seems like just yesterday - we’ve been [...]

Our Italian hosts invited us to join them for dinner Thursday night . . . and who were we to decline such an invitation! We got directions to meet them at a restaurant downtown at 8:00 p.m. HAHAHAHA!! We left the hotel at 7:50 and still beat them there by 30 minutes There was [...]

Another long, exhausting day at work . . . but fun in the simulator We got tons of stuff done . . . and I had tons of stuff to do, but needed to get out of the hotel . . . so when the National Guard guys invited me to join them for [...]

Up earlier today to get started early. Somehow, we convinced the Italians to let us in the building and conference room at 8:00 a.m. – which was not easy because they start late here, and leave on time! We’re all in the groove of our project and the goals we need to achieve this week, [...]

Longest travel day ever! I got to DEN at 0530 and arrived at the airport in Torino at 1230 local (0430 DEN time). We were SO lucky we got to fly business/envoy class. On the flight to Philadelphia, we got a choice of an omelette or fruit and yogurt. I chose the fruit and yogurt, [...]

After working today, and taking the kiddos to the pet store to buy Spy, and getting Spy home and settled, I get to begin my FIRST EVER journey oversees! My plane leaves for Italy tomorrow at 0700 local time, so I’m staying at a hotel near the airport so I don’t have to get up [...]
