I went on vacation yesterday, March 2nd.  It's been quite some time since I've had a week off without anything that I had to do (was off at Christmas, but was packing to move to Zurich).  Anyway, Ai and I have been trying to figure out what we want to do.  Originally, we had planned to go to the Four Seasons on Provence, but after calling them this week we found that their main restaurant is closed until March 14th, and that the pool is also closed.  After checking around at other place in Provence, Greece, and South Italy, it seems that most everything is still on winter vacation until Mid-March.  That left Ai and I with the standby of driving through Italy, driving over to Paris, and just staying in Zurich.  I think we've finally decided to drive down to Florence for a few days and take things a day at a time from there.  I'll try to post a few pictures.  The weather isn't supposed to be great, but Florence should still be beautiful...
