Things we will miss from Italy

• Adventures in Italy
• Italian Pizza (we've been converted)
• Pear Juice, coca-cola flavored candy
• Gelato
• Beautiful Milan
• The beautiful people in Milan (everyone looks dressed up all the time, no sneakers or hoodies here)
• All the yummy inexpensive cheeses
• Aqua Frizzante
• Taking high-speed trains instead of planes or freeways.  It's the BEST way to travel, especially with kids.

Lesson Learned: The grass is always green on both sides.
