One of the graduates of our high school has offered to pay the way for a sister to join a pilgrimage to Italy in May. The trip would include visits to Rome, Assisi, Florence and a couple of cities in Northern Italy. So, if we're interested in going we can put our names in for a drawing. I was just there on a similiar trip in 2004, so I don't think it's fair to put my name in.
Okay, the real reason I'm not going to try for the trip is because I'll miss the cats too much.
When we went two years ago, I just had Katie and Gracie and leaving them was hard enough. I actually did pretty good until we
took the train to Florence and saw a elderly woman with a black cat in a carrier. After that, I kept seeing cats everywhere. I enjoyed the rest of the trip, but couldn't wait to get home. When we did, I left all my bags in the car and ran for the front door. Gracie met me in the hallway and I pretty much just collasped on the floor crying and holding her as she purred and licked my face. Katie was mad at me for leaving her and wouldn't let pet her at first.
Would anybody else pass up a trip like this to stay home with the kitties, or am I completely crazy?
