Enjoy your visit. I pray the weather will be congenial. I'm thinking now of Browning's poem, Oh to be in England now that April's there, etc. He was in beautiful Italy when he wrote that poem. I guess there is no place like home.

We could have taken a short trip much nearer to home to celebrate my 60th, which would have lovely, but then there was the thought of blowing caution to wind--just this once--and really doing something we really dreamed about doing 'on a whim'.
