I'll tell you guys it was a challenge with Isaac--with his anxiety, this long
of a trip with so many changes was pretty stressful for him, but he did pretty
well. Yes he did embarass me a couple of times with a melt down in public, but
you know, it was still worth it because I think doing things like this pushes
him to cope with stress better.

The kids fought and argued as usual but I think they also got along better than
at home. Italian meals are a wondeful thing. They take a long time and you
learn to just sit and relax and eat, and drink and talk and laugh and they
talked more to me and to each other than ever.

It was a trip of a lifetime.

Now it's back to the grindstone.

Wow.... I tell you, I thought I would just skim through that, just catching
some words to get the jest of the trip. An hour later, I realized I had read
it word for word.

Excellent writing Joelle. That should be published.

Glad you had a safe trip. Hope your daughters head feels ok. lol
