2057 Piacere!!

Hello everyone!:)

My name is Pauline, i'm married,I have 3 grown up children. My interests are ..of course Italy....second to that...is golf...I work at a golf club and play the sport too!!

My husband and I are looking to retire to Italy (Umbria) next year 2006. As you can imagine there are lots of emotions running around in my head right now. So i'm hoping that once i've started chatting with a few of you, some of the things that seemed quite big issues...will be explained and made sense of :D ...

Ciao!!!

Hi Pauline
Well All I Can Say Is That I Have The Same Feelings As You. We Are (hoping) To Move To Northern Italia April/may 2006. Should Be Completing On A New House Shortly After Xmas. Its A Strange Mixed Feeling... Exciting, But Nerve Racking... My Husband Speaks Italian, I Dont, But Do Understand Quite Alot... Sals

Hi Sals!

It's reasurring to know that there are others out there feeling the same way as iam.

I'm sure that going into such a venture without blindfolds on, understanding(hopefully) that there are going to be bumps in the road will give one a better outlook on the change that we are about to undertake.

Hubby and I are looking on this move to Italy as a new chapter in our life...and grasping it with keen enthusiasm

We are taking our two cats with us, they have both got their passports...however, i've heard that they will need a copy translated into Italian, is this so?...or do you know of anyone that could clarify this for me?

Wishing you a Happy Christmas and a wonderful 2006

Pauline
