Ready to Go!

Toronto, Ontario, Canada
We're all set for another adventure!  No new countries this time (sad emoji), but lots of new places over the course of 5 weeks!  Carol and I have been to Puglia (or Apulia), Italy on our driving tour around southern Italy a few years ago, but we never made it to Bari or Monopoli, which will be our bases this time, having stayed inland outside Castellana Grotte (in a trullo!) and way south in Otranto last time before heading around to Sicily.  And we have both been to Greece before, but Carol has never been to the Ionian islands.  I did stay in Corfu way back in 1985, when I was backpacking solo around Europe for 6 months, but it was much different experience!  So we will be bouncing around a lot, taking the trains up and down the Puglia coast before flying over to Corfu, where I will spend my 70th, and then flying on to Kefalonia and Zakynthos before a flight back to Bari for a quick overnight before heading home.  Fingers crossed that all of the little flights go as planned!  Sitting at Pearson Airport now anxiously waiting for our civilised 8:20 pm Air Canada flight!  As always, for a different (better?) perspective on our trip, check out Carol's blog at http://v2.travelark.org/travel-blog/carolrichardson/15.
