  • Familiarity/contempt.
    Lucky for me I haven’t hit that wall (I’ve only been to Italy a couple of times unless you count Ticino).

  • Maybe. Or maybe I made such great memories that old me could never do that anymore.
    There are so many other places I haven't been and I would like to go. Also lazy, go 'home' to the family...you don't know the nagging/bad mouthing you get if you don't visit the family in age (hierarchy) order. When I was younger the family would go to Italy in secret as there wasn't enough time to go see everyone. While I didn't give a fying fuck and spent time with the family I loved. Even stayed in cheap hotels nearby and that can upset the family too.

    I miss wandering home late, dropping by the bakeries and buying fresh out of the oven cornetti and having a milky coffee or chocolate before bed. Then up four hours later for work or study.

  • Oh wow, that is so much different than my experience.
    I'm northern prairie farming stock, you can imagine how exotic everything Italian would appear to me.
    Anyway, back to what we are celebrating here!
