I am trying now to figure out what I need for the next few weeks and what I can leave at home.
I am going with my Great Escapes! friend Gail... I went last year as a tourist, this year I am going back as the hired help. I will be cooking for her guests and helping around the villa. I think that makes me an Italian 'casalinga'.
I am really looking forward to this because 2 of her guests this year are my friends who are getting married in Rome. After an exciting wedding with family, we will head on to the beautiful Tuscan village of Montisi.So far in my suitcase, I have packed wedding clothes and my aprons. Now packing for this trip is going to be a challenge!
What do y'all think I need to throw into my suitcase?
Ciao y'all~
Sandi
