Fantastic Travel Cubes: These cubes are amazing and keep everything in the right spot. I got black for Gary and pink for me and an extra set of a mix of both so we could each have another 2 bags. They are a great way to even put things in an overnight bag. I got a few small ones just for little items. They are great for keeping long sleeves separate from short when I don’t need to unpack everything! These are my new favorite things! Fantastic Travel Cubes

For our first 90-day adventure, we decided on the city of Parma as our “home base.” How did we arrive on Parma, you ask? Sounds corny but we read a book, “Not in a Tuscan Villa” and loved it. The authors, Nancy and John Petralia had stayed in Parma and wrote this book. If you haven’t read it yet; we highly recommend it! They also have a second book too that is just as wonderful. Nancy and I are Facebook friends and I love seeing her pictures when she posts them and read about their success story. Visit: Not in a Tuscan Villa
