Recently I posted photos of the Duomo in Milan. This church was named one the ten most beautiful in the world by Budget Travel. I could see why.

Paella Party at The Terraces Winery
Paella cooked over the open flame…in 104 degree weather. It sure was tasty. Thanks to Timm, Sharon, Nate, Christina, and the rest of the people who put this feast on for us. It was awesome.
A great sunset to end a great evening.
Venice…ahh
Italian Trains
Italian trains…the way to travel across Italy. Be sure to book the fast one, though.
Duomo of Milan
The Duomo of Milan…impressive and imposing Gothic and Neo-Gothic structure. This dominates the square and the whole area for that matter.
Yes, we went to the top after visiting the massive structure inside.
Shapes everywhere you look.
Viewing the streets below…
Viewing through all the pinnacles…
Viewing across the roof tops…
What a day and what a wonderful piece of history.
Thanks to the Veterans
At the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery today.
Thanks to all who have served.

Summer Flights
How Far in Advance Should You Book Your Flight?
Planning on traveling by plane somewhere this summer? With that in mind, when it comes to summer flights the early bird almost always gets the best deals. Ideally, you should start shopping about three months in advance of your departure date especially if you’re planning to travel on or around some of the highest flying days. Plus, if you’re not looking to travel right around the holidays you should still be able to find a decent deal by booking about four to six weeks ahead of time.
Most summer airfare sales require a 21-day advance purchase. Therefore waiting until the last minute is unlikely to save you money and will almost certainly cost you. If you have flown anywhere recently you probably noticed the airlines have gone to great lengths to reduce capacity. They are no longer flying planes with empty seats. Consequently, the seats that are available generally sell out. So don’t wait and wait and wait. Plan ahead.
Great Day in NorCal
enjoy the blossoms…
Napa Valley
Budget Travel recently listed precious places in the world that are in danger of going away. On this extensive list were the wine regions of the world…including Napa Valley. Why?
With changes in heat and cold affecting soil conditions, growing quality grapes could be harder to do. Their solution…buy wine! Why? They figure by adding more money to the wine industry, more money can then be spent on developing ways to deal with these changes and on technology to keep grapes healthy.
