We've arrived!

Just a little note telling everyone we have arrived safe and sound.  There was no sleep to be had on the plane.... Coach seats internationally - no good.  And no A/C!!  Poor Pietro was dying of the heat.  But we arrived into Rome without incent and found our B and B easily. Our B and B is wonderful - sweet proprietor took 20 minutes to walk through the buses we should take and the best places to visit.  We have a fresh market right across the street, the biggest in Roma, he tells us.  Now, we're off to shower, freshen up and off to Vatican City we go!

It's official

I'm no longer thinking about work.  Vacation... here I come (soon)!! Now, if only I could just go home already and be on vacation already.  Sitting in this chair is killing me!

Technology is awesome

So, we're gearing up for our European Vacation, and one of those things we have to figure out is: how do we stay connected to you lovely people!! Via technology of course! We're planning on dusting off the wedding blog, and use it to post quick updates about what we're doing and where we've been - both to document it for ourselves, but also to keep you in the loop so you can follow our adventures from afar.

We've set up a few 'auto updates' that will send the posts directly to your email. If you got this post via email, you're on the list. If you'd rather not get the updates via email - let me know and I'll remove you. Updates will also be posted directly to the blog http://baker-to-zalinski.blogspot.com

Please keep in mind - if you reply to this email, it will go to my old email account. If you want me to see your email while I'm gone - send it to leah.zalinski@gmail.com instead.

Forgive the typos. You all know my spelling stinks, and to make it worse. I'm typing with my thumbs.

Look for updates starting Aug 25!! Bon voyage!

A Video Montage of the Special Day

For those of you who weren't able to share our special day with us, here is a quick highlight reel of the event. Enjoy!

Happy New Year!!!

It's 2008 people. And we have big plans.

A few new things that we are looking forward to in the new year:

1. We're learning how to salsa. That's big!
2. We're going to be putting the condo on the market! (That's bigger!)
3. We're looking for a fabulous, bigger and better NEW place to buy (that's the biggest)

Of course, we both want to be happy and healthy in the new year, but the housing situation is the big deal. We'll continue to post as much as we can to keep you updated on our progress and we go through the motions of buying and selling in this questionable market. We're really excited about what lies ahead, and look forward to our first housewarming party.

A few obvious questions, answered:
1. We are going to stay in the city
2. Ideally, we'd love to stay in Lincoln Square
3. We have a bunch of great recommendations for real estate agents !
4. We've been pre-approved for a very generous amount for our loan. Now, the question is how much we actually want to borrow!
5. No, we aren't having babies yet.

Do you know anyone who would like to move into a slightly lived-in 600 sq. ft condo? If so, we'll cut them a deal!!!
