We're booked!

Very interesting phone call/calls last night.  Thanks everybody for the quick response and processing the flight options.  Krisann and I are now booked.  I'm assuming the same is true for everyone else.  I understand there is some angst over Air France and passing through Paris.  Deep breath Dave Carlson.  It's going to be fine.  I'm guessing there might be some stressing going on with us driving around Tuscany in an Italian built van  too. :-)  It's all part of the experience and building the stories to be shared later.

I have also gone ahead and booked our hotel for Sept. 20th.  We will be spending a second night in Positano after the hike to relax and recoup from our days of hiking.  We talked to our friends Benton and Judy at church yesterday and asked them for ideas for hotels in Positano.  They raved about Albergo California. (new link on the hotel list on the right) Yes that's right Hotel California.  No, the owners are not Eagle fans.  Well, maybe they are, but that's not where the name came from.  The building is from the 1700's.  We will enjoy our morning breakfast here.


And then explore the Positano area on Friday.  Krisann has been looking at some options with some including boats.

The plan would be to spend Friday night here and then take a taxi to our Saturday night hotel by the Naples airport.  One idea is to get there on Saturday with some time to go into Naples for the afternoon/evening for dinner.  We would then be right by the airport for our early Sunday departure.

I also added a countdown timer to the blog now that we know our time of departure.  When I booked on Expedia last night the message "Time to pack your bags" came up after everything was confirmed.  Maybe a little early but it's getting closer.

Looking forward to a great trip in September!
