Beautiful! I got choked up reading your post about leaving her there. It sounds like it was a special time together, as you helped her settle in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/italy-1#post-119058 Thu, 21 Jan 2010 04:18:56 +0000 marianne 119058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for sharing, Debbie. I am glad you had a good trip and very special time with your daughter. I agree with everyone, you look fantastic in that jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/italy-1#post-119037 Thu, 21 Jan 2010 02:36:28 +0000 shana 119037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>debbie, thanks for sharing. Your daughter's hair is amazing and don't you fit right in with your gorgeous red leather jacket! This sounds like it will be a wonderful opportunity for your daughter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/italy-1#post-119012 Thu, 21 Jan 2010 01:54:18 +0000 Kyle 119012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fell in love with Italy...and am glad you enjoyed your trip. The photos speak volumes. It's so hard for us as Moms when our chicks leave the nest, isn't it? We are programmed to protect them, and it goes against the grain to let them go (even though that's what we've been preparing them for!)</p> <p>My son is getting ready to leave for college, and I feel very sad, but happy at the same time. Bittersweet, indeed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/italy-1#post-119000 Thu, 21 Jan 2010 01:41:39 +0000 Angie 119000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful write-up. Thanks, Debbie. Your daughter is so pretty. I love her hair! And look at you in your red leather jacket. Such a beautiful Mum and daughter couple you made. Big hugs. Thank goodness for skype.</p> <p>Btw, Europe is on Winter sale in Jan. There is no Spring in stores yet. That will happen in a few weeks. But that's okay! You had a precious time with your daughter. The most important thing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/italy-1#post-118925 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:09:40 +0000 Anonymous 118925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You and your daughter do look so much alike and are both very beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing these precious pictures. You definately should frame these great pictures.</p> <p>Your red leather jacket looks beautiful on you. The color is great for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/italy-1#post-118920 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:01:59 +0000 RoseandJoan 118920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Debbie, it must have been such a bitter sweet trip. You and your daughter look so very beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/italy-1#post-118916 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 20:54:25 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 118916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely photo - a precious memory. I hope that you threw a coin in!</p> <p>I do hope that your daughter visits Istanbul. We went at Easter last year and it is the most amazing, vibrant and fun city. Fantastic food and even better shopping - in fact the perfect place for her to pick up some scarves for her mother!</p> <p>If she wants any tips for planning her trip I would be happy to help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/italy-1#post-118909 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 20:32:49 +0000 marianna 118909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Debbie, your daughter is so beautiful and looks just like you.

I can't imagine having my baby gone so far away from home- I bet you miss her already. She looks a lot like you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/italy-1#post-118827 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 16:05:17 +0000 Debbie 118827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was a wonderful trip. Anna and I had a great time. She is all settled in and we were able to do a little sightseeing.</p> <p><a href="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b318/smurfmom/Rome/IMGP1696-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i22.photobucket.com/alb.....1696-1.jpg</a></p> <p>Trevi Fountain</p> <p><a href="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b318/smurfmom/IMGP1711.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i22.photobucket.com/alb.....GP1711.jpg</a></p> <p>Anna in front of a fountain at the Vacitian.</p> <p>I love the area she is living in and the city itself. My biggest concern for her is that it isn't handicap accessible at all. We walked all the routes she will be taking and I think she will manage. She is a resourceful little thing. The University is 3 blocks from her apt and on the way are shops and restaurants.</p> <p>One of things we did was go to a local flea market on Sunday It was quite an experience. Everything is sold there. She was able to pick up a few things she needed and I picked up some scraves for myself and gifts.</p> <p>Fashion wise leggings as pants are everywhere. I was surprised by that. It was also being shown in the stores we visited. While she was at school one day I headed down to the Spainish steps area and the shopping is wonderful but the choices for spring seemed very limited. Very few dresses and lots of leggings in every color and pattern imaginable.</p> <p>This was a once in a lifetime opportunity for the two of us to take a trip like this. The hardest part of the whole thing was leaving her in Italy. Skype is a wonderful thing so I talk to her often. She is trying to go on a trip to Istanbul in March. This is an experience I'm so grateful she has but I miss her. </p>
