Thanks Steve, we're just about to close on our house. Its been very laid back, we were lucky to have a great Realtor, but long distance from Colorado to Abruzzo has been a challenge. Can't wait for my first trip back to Italy though. All advice welcome. We've travelled there as much as possible over the years, but nowhere captured my heart like Abruzzo. I found it very different and the pace much slower from the rest of the country. Just the retirement life I'm looking for. One step at a time! Any advice you can offer is welcomed.

Hi Frank, thank you. I visited in August, when I was house hunting, and I noticed not many place took credit cards. Its a whole different world isn't it. Back to good old cash. Thanks for your info. We'll be back in March to start furnishing. Looking forward to it.

Thanks so much, we plan to do it a bit at a time on each visit. Our realtor has put us in touch with a carpenter for the kitchen, but we need to go out and buy everything else. Its difficult trying to do it Transatlantic. Very exciting though. Thanks again this is extremely helpful.
