In truth, we rarely see my in-laws though we are living under their roof, and on Friday when they depart on a two-month long ultra-marathon vacation we are going to lose them sadly for most of the summer. We tried to pull a trip together to meet them in Italy for a couple weeks, but the flights were too expensive. Very disappointing.
The first part of their voyage is a trans-Atlantic cruise, followed by a winding Eurorail adventure all the way to Sicily. They will be accompanied for most of the trip by their best friends, a great couple, and at other times by my brother-in-law's parents who are British. Once they reach my mother-in-law's home town in Sicily, their best friends are predictably ditching them and flying home. At which point, they will turn around and head north back through Europe to catch their ship home, crossing the Atlantic a second time.
Not only would it be absolutely ridiculous to watch them interact with strangers all over Europe, but it would undoubtedly be an endearing depiction of Italian-Americans for the world to see.
