All transportation within Italy has now been booked with the exception of a short train ride from Treviso the Venice to tour Burano. Three rental cars, three train rides and two private transfers. Now to start working on restaurant reservations and clawing miles back from Jet Blue for my return flight from JFK because they moved my flight home from JFK to when I'm still in the air flying back from Milan.
I'm wishing a little bit that we have one less stop but we discussed it and we really want to hit our favorite vineyards in Tuscany and Piedmonte.
The trip is two nights in Treviso, three nights in Cortina d'Ampezzo (Dolomites), five nights in Bologna, two nights in Greve in Chianti and four nights in Serralunga d'Alba.
I want Ferrari to go back to engine grenade mode. At least then they were easily competitive with Red Bull. It's just last year that LeClerc was running laps around the field at Catalunya before his engine went boom. Same with Sainz in another race when he was tracking Verstappen down before his engine exploded.
Tore his shoulder up against Clemson then reinjured it in fall camp the following year. We never knew for sure that he couldn't throw anymore but he couldn't throw anymore. It wasn't a case of didn't try but couldn't. He still is the owner of the greatest 360 spin move in college football history so he has that.
It’s amusing because when Ted (who I enjoy) was talking about how they missed their window I was just thinking that they were going to 1 stop and gain an advantage that way which is what happened. It was my immediate thought when they stayed out on the mediums. Maybe it was my idiot savant day. So, at least for me it wasn’t hours after the race.
Bad take. Ferrari nailed their tire strategy today with the one stop race.
Albon is a very good driver and the Williams upgrades were impresseive today.
I agree with you about Americans and spice and about hot Pace salsa. I think I've purchased just about every store bought salsa my groceries carry. It's tough to find a good one.
While I’m always hesitant to post after bp I had to post this one. David Fulton Petit Syrah has been a favorite of mine for a while. Sadly, the vineyard was sold a few years ago and those beautiful vines were ripped up to plant yet more Cabernet in Napa Valley. I still have a case or so left but it’s not a great aging wine so it will be gone far too soon.
Could be. I'm using points and miles for over two 2 weeks in Italy in September. I'll have a couple of car rentals and trains plus meals out of pocket. I'll also be buying wine to ship back. It won't be a cheap trip but it could be a heck of a lot more expensive out of pocket for sure.
