The trip began this beautiful day for Jim;  Tim leaves Saturday for meet-up in Munich on Sunday morning.  Notice Tim's smile even though he had to drop Jim off at the airport at 7:00 am.  We're very excited to be sharing this trip with our friends and family.  Planning has been in the works for about six months and we learned a lot in the process.  We look forward to seeing old and making new friends in Germany, Tim experiencing Europe for the first time, and exploring Lombardo family roots in Sicily.
