Default Meanwhile in Italy...

My Dragon preparation has come to a halt, the company has me in Italy for training. This Sunday, I should be able to join Gary, Andy, Thorn, Paul and others in planning routes and such.

Meanwhile, I am learning that they don't understand tipping in Italy, I tipped Anastaia (from Russia, gotta go there some day) $10euro, and she had this reaction....



I gave her another $20euro and she had this reaction....




I'm not sure I even want to come home.

Don't be surprised if Mark brings a new missus to the Dragon.
( Hey Mark, it'll cost you a whole heap more than 30 euros )

It's been a fun trip, but there has been horrible stress. My B/P was 180/140 a few days ago.
Sure, I've had some fun, but this is a business trip, it has not been a vacation at all.

I am SO READY for a real vacation with the Crossfire Family. I'll see many of you in two weeks.

Tell us the truth about the Russian lady, maybe she was Polish and was about to do a Pole dance, you did look a bit flushed.

Only in my dreams, Dave. ONLY in my dreams.
She was just a fun kid, liked the attention (and tips) - she did mention wanting to visit America. I told her I could help with that, but she never brought it up again.

If there was any more truth to it, I'd be bragging about it.
