Travel in Tuscany

Here I am in Italy, I arrived on Wednesday in Rome with Alice, it is a working trip, if you can call this work. We are taking 40 people to villa in Tuscany in March of 2010, so we are here now to set up dinners and lunches at various restaurants in Montalcino, Lucca, Contignano and others. We planed 6 days to do this and got it done in 2 1/2, rather then go home early, (ha ha) we stayed and enjoyed ourselves.
