Dario, that sounds like a really good idea. Our original thoughts were to travel from Venice to Ravenna, then along the Forli-Bologna route, so that fits in extremely well, I'll look forward to meeting you in Venice , and raising a glass with you in Ravenna (provided I can get the three girls I'm travelling with to agree!) I'll send contact details off-list.

Update: Once again, it's a very hectic time here, with grandma who died today, a sister hospitalized and more troubles all together. I do hope something will settle before we can meet in Venezia. This said, I still want to meet you in Venice, probably on Sunday 6th. Never been to Torcello, hence it could be the right time for that! However, I still advice you to take at last one day in Ravenna on your way from Venice to Florence. I believe you cannot miss some peculiar monuments like: Basilica of St.Vitale http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basilica_of_San_Vitale Mausoleum of Galla Placidia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mausoleum_of_Galla_Placidia Basilica of St.Apollinare in Classe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basilica_of_Sant%27Apollinare_in_Classe Basilica of St.Apollinare Nuovo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basilica_of_Sant%27Apollinare_Nuovo ...and then at least a glass of wine with me :-) Let's keep in touch.

Thanks Dario, and I would really look forward to meeting you. I should mention that dinner would be something of an imposition, as not only would there be my wife and I, but also her daughter and friend: I would not want to ask you and your wife to cope with that lot! If you are happy to come up to Venice (I should say Venezia!), either the 5th. or 6th. would be good , as we might well include an expedition to Torcello - have you ever been there? Unfortunately, I think any other week-end we will be too far away to meet up, as our plan is to head towards Florence and Rome, which does take us away from Ravenna.

Hi John, I live in Ravenna, hence I'll be happy to meet you here or in Forlì, which is just half-hour drive from home. However, during the week I can hardly think of finding more than one hour or so, free for such meeting. Perhaps a dinner will better do the trick, but I have to ask the wife for that ;-) Oh, and I'll be away on 9/11. On the other hand, a meeting (possibly widened to other PDML folks?) during the weekend could be welcome too. I can consider 5 or 6 in Venice, and 12 or 13 elsewhere. Bologna is 1-hour drive from here, while Firenze is 2 hours and a half, by motorway (if everthing goes well, which is not always the case with the Appennines route). Let's see if others show up and then decide.
