When I looked a few weeks ago the cheapest I could find was 1700€ as fuel is so expensive these days.Leanne was in Italy now in Australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03240105726417037664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945600374886655820.post-23217521447316551832008-08-03T16:35:00.000+02:002008-08-03T16:35:00.000+02:00Lovely to have discovered your blog! I'm an Austra...Lovely to have discovered your blog! <BR/><BR/>I'm an Australian travel writer who has lived in Dubai and before than Abu Dhabi for 10 years, and have been travelling continuously from one writing commission to another (ie. from one city/country to another city/country) for the last 2.5 years. <BR/><BR/>I always get the same kinds of questions that you do about why I don't live in Australia and whether I want to return to Australia and when do I intend to move back. Fortunately my publishers have given me a couple of projects down under so I've got to spend time with family a bit over the last couple of years. And I love Australia, I really do, but it's always going to be there, the world is a big place, there's just so much to see, and so many places to live. How can I move back??? Now, I know you know that answer...<BR/><BR/>Love Calabria, by the way - spent a month there a few months ago, then a month in Milano, and just finished a month on the road in Northern Italy. You're going to love your new life in Italy!Lara Dunstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05568159382939703162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945600374886655820.post-66437903825610987912008-07-28T15:09:00.000+02:002008-07-28T15:09:00.000+02:00Hi Michelle,I know....you do just know don't you?!...Hi Michelle,<BR/>I know....you do just know don't you?!<BR/>It is very much like falling in love as in my case it just sort of happened with no effort, or thought...just like moving to Italy involved no effort of thought...gosh - we make moving to Italy seem so easy, but for me and you..it was.Leanne was in Italy now in Australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03240105726417037664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945600374886655820.post-91402194258946778912008-07-28T13:25:00.000+02:002008-07-28T13:25:00.000+02:00I hear you girl!

I remember writing something similar...people always assume it was this BIG decision when I really don't feel like it was a decision at all--just something I knew I had to do, so I did it. I think that this is along the lines of what people say about falling in love...when you know, you know. You know? ;)Michelle | Bleeding Espressohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13578703393987896737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945600374886655820.post-52497055885423783832008-07-28T12:46:00.000+02:002008-07-28T12:46:00.000+02:00Hi Lulu,I know exactly what you are talking about ...Hi Lulu,<BR/>I know exactly what you are talking about :) This trip will be really good for you.

I have always loved Italy, the culture, the people, the way of life. I have family there that I feel so close and connected to even though I haven't seen them in years. I email back and forth with my cousin in Italy (she is 26) and I light up...I am happy. I know this trip will be SO good for me right now and I know that when I come back I'll be taking the steps I need in order to hopefully make a move to Italy. I just feel like I'm meant for something other than what I'm living now. I know you can understand where I'm coming from and it's really cool to have that! :) I'll stop babbling. Do you have MSN? We should chat :P Ciao for now! :)LuLuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164608199708643411noreply@blogger.com
