Once upon a time in Texas, there was a girl with an appetite and a dream...
...like, maybe we should put a helicopter on top of the yacht. After all, the boat is only about 150 feet long. Maybe it'll add a touch of, I don't know--rich...

Does leaving your former life to live in paradise really need much explanation? I had a dream to live in Italy. After four years of teaching and almost as many summers traveling, I knew that something had to be done. I needed to cook every day with that fresh, locally-grown produce. I needed to connect with people who made their own wine and bought their whole chickens with the feet still on. I wanted to live in a culture whose inherent passion for gastronomy was not born of pretense, but of the knowledge that what is so fundamental to life should also be ENJOYED. This, for me, is the definition of "la dolce vita Italiana." While it may not always be sweet, it is always Italian.

Would it be totally inappropriate for you to take pics at your new job and share them with us? I would LOVE to see the 150 ft. yacht with a helicopter on top. Wow.
Definitely a luxury version of the motor home towing a honda civic. :-)

Excellent quote. By the way, do we need to address you differently now? Perhaps with a royalty title or at least "Governor Tracie"? Then again I think royalty have PC's. :) Enjoy the summer & thanks for sharing with us dirt farmers (ref. Monty Python's Holy Grail). Salute!

I can't wait until you can sit and process all this stuff you are experiencing. . . the tales you can tell. . . did you ever figure a Texan gal could ever rub shoulders with the "Super Rich"

I just finished watching tv program called "Mega Yacht's". It was incredible. I can't even begin to describe it. You'd have to see it to believe it.
