I’m at it again! The Scandinavian Airlines waiting area seat at the San Francisco Airport hardly contains my equally pulsing anxiousness and excitement! I am bound for Copenhagen, then Amsterdam, on to Frankfurt and by 6:30 tomorrow night, Florence in Italy. The more than twenty-four hours between now and then is a bit deceiving given the nine hour time change. I have less than an hour in each case to catch my continuing flights!

I didn’t intentionally plan it this way…. SAS changed my second flight thereby eliminating my original two hour transition window. As for the next two legs, I thought I might stay in Amsterdam a day or two, yet as time went by and I didn’t create those plans and as more things got going on around me and in my head, I just decided to GET TO Florence and pickings were slim! That is where I will be meeting a group to walk a portion of the Via di Francesco along the way of Saint Francis of Assisi on September 5th. We will be walking for fifteen days from Florence to Assisi!! More about that later! This is kind of a “practice” blog to see if I am still capable!!

I have had a whirlwind these last couple of years! Two grand babies born being highlights! Gianna turned two on August 11 and Kobe is now five months. Marlo the husky who I enjoy walking while in San Francisco is three. Daughter Lindsey and her hubby Darrell have A Lot going on and I have been fortunate to share in the unfolding events.

My summer was filled with a lot of fun activities and family!

I’ll let you know when I get to Florence!
