We have rented a villa in Montisi during part of May and June. We'd love to have a GTG a the house on any (or all) of the above dates. I hope some of you will join us if you will be in the Montisi area. Come party with us!

We would be very interested in attending one of your parties. Could you please supply more details such as cost? Grazie.

Gail - Paul and I will be there for the May 29th night. This will be such fun. With Palma in the kitchen we shall eat well. Wine, food, song, and spectacular company under the Tuscan stars - what a night it shall be!

Hi Kathy, welcome to Slow Travel! If there are only a few extra people, there wouldn't be a cost....just contribute a bottle of wine or something to share. If the numbers increase I may have to rethink! We'd love for you to join us.

Jerry, I hope you and Paul are working on a song to sing for us! I'm sure Palma will come up with a good one.... There's even a piano if we can find someone to play it.

We have to sing for our supper? Oh my! I guess it will depend upon the number of martinis consumed.

Martinis??? In Italy??? That's just WRONG! How about a nice glass of wine?

Barb, martinis are NEVER wrong! LOL I am sure that much wine will be consumed as well but man does not live on wine alone.

So now I have to work on my song and dance?
I don't know if I will have room in my suitcase for my feather boa~ you know when packing for 2 weeks in Italy you have to be able to wear things more than once.

My sister and I will be there on the 29th! I'm glad I will have a bed to crawl in once the party is over- or when the sun comes up- whichever comes first

We will try to make the gathering on May 29. I will let you know for sure at a later date. I am not sure of the day/time of the included cooking class and dinner where we are staying and can't miss that. Thank you so much for your warm welcome. See you in Savannah!

Gail,
I am also down in the area that week with a group, doing one of my weeklong programs.

I LOVE martini's! But since I am being mom, I have to be responsible!

Say hi to Robert and Liz.

I could also surprise you and drop by with Tania!
Who knows!

Confused here . . .

Does this mean you'll join the party but sip aqua frizzante instead of wine and martinis or that you won't be able to join us?

Judy, I SO wish you could join us! Where will you be?

Alex, that would be great! I'd love to meet Tania. I follow her blog so I feel like I already know her.

Kathy, I hope you can make it. If you will send me an email, I will send you my Italian cell phone number. Even if it's at the last minute, it will be fine for you to come.

This is looking like a gathering!
Judy~ I am with Jerry... I hope that means yes! We will promise to treat you with the respect a Diva/Momma deserves. Bring your 'children' along. I am so hoping to get to meet you!
Alex and Kathy too!
Palma~ what's on the menu?

I was given a head's up on this, but regretfully, I have classes to teach on 29 and 30 May.

What a shame Judith! I was hoping to drink some vino with you.

I am staying with my group in san Quirico.
we will see how they are!!!

My googlemaps shows that it is about 19 km from you to us. Heck, you could walk that home if you had too many martinis. LOL

jerry
not far away, but am resposible for my tour I am running!

If the women want to party will let you know!

We are all on the countdown to our great escape to Montisi.
I thought I would top this to see if anyone else will be in the area. We are going to have a great time.


No web cam!

What happens in Montisi, stays in Montisi!

We will all be in Montisi by this weekend for our Great Escape.
How many slow travelers do we have coming for the party?
Judy I do hope you can make it!

We are still hoping to join you on Thursday. We leave tomorrow for Italy and will be in Montepulciano on Sat. I will know then when the activities are scheduled at Le Manzinaie. We will give Gail a call. Thanks so much for the invitation!!!!
Kathy and Lou
