A Test Post plugging Google and Free Stuff

It is great when I find some new cool stuff that Google is giving away. I have long been a user of Picasa, even before Google bought them and made it even better. Then came the Web Albums and Blogger adding a new dimension to online sharing. I had been using Flickr by Yahoo for posting and sharing my best images. Then in 2006 on New Year's Day I started posting blogs.
What does any of this have to do with Chynna or Italy ? Not much directly, but during this past couple of weeks I found out more about Google Maps and I see a way to use these to enhance my sales this year. Thus I can earn more and save more. This will allow me to take Cheri and Chynna back to Italy this Summer, hope hope. Maybe we can even afford to take friends like Claire and Gabriella like we did last Summer.
Another cool way to save money, increase efficiency and save time is to use Google's 1-800-GOOG-411 from a pay phone or from my cell phone. This is how it works....



And even though I have seen and used a slew of YouTube links, this is the first one for me to post. Cool, Free and Informative. We really live in an amazing point in time.

Italy with my Daughter and Wife

This past summer I was lucky enough to return to Italia with my wife for the third time. This time I got to share the experience with my daughter Chynna and our other "daughter" Claire. We even got Gaby my "sister" to come down from Holland to join us.
I will show you many photos of ours and share some stories from our trip and the places we visited.
I hope you can see why we are already planning a return trip this next summer.
