Thank you all so very much. Your advice has been very helpful. We are getting so close to having everything fall into place. We have our flights arranged. We have all of our passports, now working on visas (what a joke). We're still trying to find a place to live that we feel will be suitable for our family. I know we will find somewhere though. I am a very relaxed person, so I am not too worried about everything. I generally dress nice but casual. We are learning the Italian language, although I know we wont actually catch on until we are in Italy. We will still speak English most of the time. I love this website, it has been so helpful with so many questions that I have and you have all been great. Please keep the advice coming. Thank you, Tiffany http://tiffanderson.blogspot.com/
