Marj wishes to make an announcement

Several readers / fans have commented that, while enjoying our many and varied postings, they find that one small omission limits their satisfaction with their experience as armchair travel companions. That small omission is the lack of any proof that Marj is indeed along on the trip, not stuffed in an abandoned piece of luggage.

Have no fear. My very good friend and fellow signora, thought kindly to document my existence at a time when an ungainly but necessary maneuver was the only means of retrieving our luggage from the bowels of the bus. Believe me, I had the sensation — and I know several former colleagues who will understand exactly what I'm talking about — of being on a photo shoot with Lisa or Perry, although this kind of situation occurred rather more frequently with Perry.

THANKS FOR THE PHOTOS KATE!
