Arrivederci

So Mr NYC and wife have packed their bags and, despite the ash clouds and cabin crew strikes that temporarily threatened it, now have clear skies and smooth flying to a land that gave us the Mona Lisa and the Ferrari -- amongst a few other notable things. Hopefully I'll have some good things to share when we get back. And no, I won't be buying you all gifts. Where exactly in this country we are going? I'll leave that a mystery for now. Just take a look at this picture and guess. We'll be back in a week. See ya!
