Though it can be argued that travel is a matter of money, we think that it depends on what one defines "travel" as. What's your take on this statement? What does "travel" mean for you?⁠

Having this happen is definitely frustrating. I find the best solution is to be prepared. When this happened to me, I had a spare credit card on me that I could use without delay. Of course, I learned the hard way when this first happened to me, but being prepared with a reserve card takes all the frustration away.

WORD WEDNESDAY: ⁠Appassimento⁠
⁠
Noun⁠
Pronunciation: ap-pass-ee-ment-toh⁠
Meaning: The Italian term for drying harvested grapes to concentrate the flavour for making wine.⁠
⁠
The word appassimento comes from the Italian verb ‘appassire’ meaning to fade, wither, or shrivel. It refers to the process of drying grapes off the vine, usually in naturally ventilated warehouses called fruttai. Drying the grapes results in concentrated flavour, sugar, and acidity and powerful character. The Veneto region in northeast Italy is known for its appassimento wines, most notably Amarone della Valpolicella Classico. Today is National Wine Day and a good reason to try some appassimento if you haven’t already. Salute!⁠

Have you ever been on a trip and thought to yourself, "So that's why we _____" or "Why do we do that? It makes so much more sense here!"? It's a funny thing, isn't it? Then again, distance provides the perfect opportunity for a new perspective.⁠

This question is popping up a lot these days. It’s no wonder since the rules are changing often and each country has different ones. Start with your own country’s travel website, then the department of health in the country you are travelling to, the country’s embassy, and check with your airlines. Of course, when you book with a travel agent, as I do, you work together as a team to ensure you are prepared for travel. Don’t underestimate the value of a travel agent – they are the professionals who are well-informed.

The direct translation of topolino is little or baby mouse. It is the diminuitive version of the word topo meaning mouse.

The answer is not as simple as the question. One thing is for certain, check to see whether your credit card charges a foreign transaction fee, which is something you want to avoid. Also, difference countries have different rewards plans tied to their cards. I find it best to consult with those who are in the know about these things. My go-to resource is Tara at . Book a travel coaching consultation with her to get your questions answered.

WORD WEDNESDAY: ⁠Lacrima⁠

⁠
The word lacrima (plural ‘lacrime’) is the Italian word for tear or teardrop. In’ lacrime” means to be tearful or teary. The word is the same in several other languages such as Latin, Spanish, and Romanian. It can also refer to a grape, such as the rare red wine grape native to the Marche region of Italy, or the Lacrima white wine grape in southwest Italy near Campania, or, the name Lacrima Christi, an Italian wine produced in the Campania region.

May 8 - Festa della Mamma

Like many other countries around the world, Italy celebrates Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in May. It wasn’t until 1956 that the Festa della mamma became part of the Italian culture. However, it is a day of great importance to families who revere their mothers. The day is spent spoiling her with flowers, special gifts, and other tokens of appreciation for her love and caring.

WORD WEDNESDAY: ⁠Tesoro⁠
⁠
Noun⁠
Pronunciation: ⁠teh-soh-roh⁠
Meaning: "Treasure"⁠
⁠
Tesoro is figuratively translated to ‘treasure’ but is often used as a term of endearment. Think ‘dear’, ‘honey’ and you can replace them with ‘tesoro’. If someone is extremely dear to you, the words ‘tesorino’, ‘tesoruccio’, and ‘tesoretto’ can also be used. A common Italian phrase of endearment is ‘tesoro mio’, meaning ‘my dear one’. Such a useful word to express the value of a person to oneself. Who is your Tesoro?⁠
