On the plane now in LHR heading to Milan.

I am sure we not be on the ship at all. It will be in dry dock. But really looking forward to seeing this done.

I searched and found lots of beautiful hotels in the Lake Como area but none open till late March or April. Villa de Este the famous hotel opens earlier than most but two days after we leave. Many of the restaurants are closed Monday through to Wednesday. Guess it is not peak time!!!!

Also very cold in the 30’s but at least we are thee and it won’t be crowded.
