trip possibility

ok, so mm has decided that a mother/son/mother/daughter trip to florence next january would be quite nice.......especially if one of the mothers spoke italian and one of the children knew her art......the mm is having major travel withdrawal, and needs to come up with a pallative itinerary on which to ponder/plan/ and otherwise daydream upon.......i am well aware that the boy with the hat does not care if he sees rick steves on this trip, or if we even consult rick steve's florence book at all......but i must say that i missed traveling with the 'young people' this go-around..........scheduling could work out even if one of the young people involved goes to school next year in mass.........anyway.....something to ponder...........
