Bummer! The trip to Italy is off. Okay, it isn't the end of the world actually. But the university has frozen the funding that would have paid for Doug's trip. They did say he could still go if he wanted to...but he "might" not get reimbursed for it. LOL!!!! :) Like we would fall for THAT one. The reason for me going with him now was because his work was paying for hotel and his airfare. Without that incentive, well, we'd rather wait and do a trip to Europe right--take a few weeks, see LOTS of places, go at a time that is convenient with leaving the kids behind, etc. So, are we disappointed? Yah, I guess. Will it leave us better off financially? Most definitely!!! And with the economy the way it is right now, it's really the wise thing to do. But Doug promises he will take me to Italy someday. That works for me.

That is a bummer!
Well, I have plans to visit Italy some day too, so if you get here before me, take notes! I actually have plans that if Ryan dies, I am packing my bags and moving to Italy. So if that happens before YOU get to go, you will have a place to stay! Hee hee hee
I am sorry it didn't work out. Now you don't have to worry about being "an american idiot" for a while!:)
Italian for "bummer" is Managia
Pronounced ma-na-ja. Sorry about the trip, if you need a translator, Craig and I can go anytime :)
Happy Birthday!
