So everyone has their flights booked ($OUCH$)...
I am sure that we will make up for that when you get here! I need to start the second batch of lemoncello and make sure we have enough. Also bringing lots of Patron! And then of course, wine...
Getting excited yet? I hope everybody brings their dance shoes...
Love, Molly

Very Sweet!
Since Bonika and Emma and I are headed out there a few days early, I put together a care package for them to kick off what I'm now calling I-PALOOZA TwentyTen. I'll share with you a passage from the letter that I included in that package to them in an effort to get over-excited...
...Dinner is served. Wow, look at all the people at the [we're living like a] king size dinner table. Those tall burning candles light the multiple dishes of organic Italian foods and beverages, and if you look on everyone's face, they are smiling and having the time of their life, thinking how they can't believe how great this is. I've seen the future, and this is what it's like.
Once the sun is down and dinner is finished, new opportunities arise. Maybe a late night swim in the pool, maybe some Lemoncella to help digest our meals, maybe some light painting with the digital cam, maybe all of that and then some.
One of my dearest friends once said "it's a little sad when your day's productivity is measured not by how much you've accomplished, but how many magic markers you've stolen." Whether it be stealing magic markers, continuous laughing and story telling, making new memories and seeing new things, plates of food, or bottles of wine, our I-Palooza time will be well spent...
So...this trip is going to be great...we can't wait. Thanks for setting it up Molly!

Preparations begin...
I have recruited my friend extraordinaire Pam to assist in the preparations for our week in Tuscany. We spent the evening with lemons and everclear alcohol to mix a magical brew. I am sure we will repeat this excercise at least one more time to ensure we have mass quanitities of limncello on hand. You know, for medicinal purposes.

Spring in Tuscany
Tue, December 1, 2009 5:34:30 PM
From: Molly
To: Michael, Jessica, Jonette, Gerrie
WHO: YOU! And anyone you want to invite
WHAT: VACATION IN TUSCANY, ITALY
WHEN:MAY 22 to MAY 29 June 5th-12th, 2010
I am starting to make the grand plans for our week in Tuscany for family and friends in May 2010 and hope that you will come join us at a beautiful villa with a pool (think Stealing Beauty with Liv Tyler) in a location that will allow you to take a train to either Rome (think DaVinci Code) or Florence (ahhhh think Room with a View) for a day or overnite trip.
Now, I don't want this to be just any week in Tuscany so I am setting up a group events as follows:
1. Performance based participation on Thursday night. An opportunity to express yourself, show off a talent (real or imagined), recite poetry or scenes from a play (individual or group, no animal acts!), perform a
traditional Japanese kimono ceremony (Becky!!!!). I want everyone to be creative and present their ARTFORM. We will construct a stage area with lighting and sound (Michael, some help with that).
2. We will be publishing a photobook and journal. We will ask everyone to contribute words and pictures to a journal to be submitted for "publication" online (you know, snapfish or blurb). A computer will be available and set up for the access to the shared document.
3. GOLF!!!!
Of course every nite will be a Italiano cuisine experience that will require group participation.
Now ANDIAMO! Pack up your camera, bathing suit, Ipod and dancing shoes.
If anyone has a strobe light, please bring it!
