Abruzzo Newso

Here are my latest travel plans....

On Sept. 12th I'm off to the beautiful Abruzzo region of Italy for a five-day getaway to visit my lifelong friend Joe D'Antony—who just purchased his family's ancestral home in the village of Abruzzo.

Can't wait to see him.

Stay tuned for photos.
