Virtual Coffee {19}

Hello Dear Friends and welcome to coffee! (tea for me, it’s a minor miracle, but I’m actually still doing the detox I mentioned), today’s virtual coffee will be brief cause I’m actually guest posting on the transition from having one kid to two for the lovely Allison over at Alli’n Son, who just had her second baby and is taking a necessary break from her “blogging duties” (so go read me there too, please, if you can).

I just wanted to share a couple of pictures with you today...

On a pirate ship - doesn't he look too little to be going off to preschool already? Sniff!

I don't know WHAT we were doing, but those are hippos in the background

These guys made me feel right at home... yeehaw!

...and ask for advice, we were supposed to go to the (almost totally renovated!) beach apartment the last week of August and first week of September before the Boy starts “Scuola Materna” (preschool), but unfortunately the apartment won’t be ready (long rant against Italian builders coming tomorrow) so we decided to book something close by last-minutish. 

Except… how does one do that without paying through the nose? I’m pretty much a planner when it comes to holidays and we rarely have to organize actual vacations in hotels and stuff because we have family all over the place so I have no experience with this. Have you gotten deals for last minute vacations? Any advice?

Thanks friends! And, as usual, go visit our hostess Amy at Lucky Number 13!!
