Public Service Announcement #1

It is nearly official - I will be coming for a visit to Illinois during the first two weeks of August. I am still working out the dates because the military flight system hasn’t officially released the August dates yet. I am fairly certain that we will leave Sicily on the 1st of August.

I am sad to say that this will not be a traveling road show like I usually do. I will spend a day or so in the Chicago area, about three or so days in the Cobden area and the majority in the Danville area. That does NOT mean that we don’t want to see family and friends. If you can make it to Illinois, I will do my level best to work your trip in with mine.

The boys and I will fly into Norfolk and then take a commercial flight to Chicago where we will rent a car. The rest of our itinerary will depend on a few things that are out of my control right this minute. I know that Kim is planning to come to Cobden during the first week of August, so we will hopefully be able to coordinate.

I should have almost two weeks in Illinois but I am not completely sure when we will return to Sicily. We will fly commercial from Chicago back to Norfolk on the 13th of August. We will then cross every toe and every finger that we can get back on the military flight on the 14th. We will not be flying the highest priority, so it is always nerve wracking trying to get home. I have had incredibly good luck so far, I just need to figure out what offering the Gods of MAC want to be happy with us.

Part two of this Public Service Announcement will let you in on WHY I am coming! Stay tuned.

Deb. Glad you are making it to Illinois. However for me..it might as well be Sicily..darn. I'm trying to see what can be done once I know your for sure dates at Anna. We have previously already planned a trip for those two weeks, with another couple from here.. Anxious to know the great news as to why? loved the pictures of the boys etc. You and I are both birthday gals this month. Happy birthday to you!
love, gramma
