Flights are booked!

Well, for four of us, at least.  With Brian's work commitments, he will join us for weeks 4-7 and we'll book his flights as we get a little closer...  June 2 through July 30!  Now, we can start working on finding five different apartments: Rome for the first 4 weeks, and then one city a week for the next four weeks: Sicily, near Florence, near Venice and near Milan.  I also am looking for a language school where I (and maybe even the boys) will study in Rome for the first three weeks.
