Dang.....I'm jealous. Do you need a food and wine taster? luggage carrier? Shoe shine boy? Heck I'd even act as a translator unfortunately I only know enough to get our azzez kicked.
Have family in Calabria or atleast I did as of 1980....the last time any one from the family made it back there. The DW and I have talked about making the trip for years. Doesn't look like anytime soon, especially since we can't even get out to Tucson to visit family there.
Keep us informed on how things go.
