Thanks again for brightening my day! Nothing like a shopping trip to Italy for that. And much easier than crossing between the U.S. and Canada. Last time I tried that with 2 bottles of Vino and a bag of dry dog biscuits I was taking to a fishing lodge with a pet timber wolf they detained me and my father and threatened to seize my airplane as attempting to bring dog biscuits into Canada is s capitol offense, But on a quick thought, I said the dog biscuits were not dog food but human survival rations, to which the customs gendarmerie asked "Seriously! You would eat that?" I replied: "If you were starving you would just as Alaska dog mushers do". The lead gendarmerie said with a laugh: "If you eat one of those dog biscuits I'll let you go and not seize this airplane" I said "ok" as he handed me a dog biscuit. I had about 1/3 of it consumed when all three gendarmerie broke into laughter and the commander said: "You're free to go, get out of here!" I asked about my father whom they detained after he proudly confessed to having been arrested for knocked the hell out of the leader of the Hell's Angels back in the 1970's. My father was close to 80' at the time, and the released him with a warning that if he "beat the hell" out of anyone in Canada he would be spending the rest of his life in prison.

Thank you very much gentlemen! I consider moving from the Netherlands to the south of France next year, but the high costs of living is a bit of a issue. Menton has been on top of my list but now I know that with an Ami shopping in Italy is not only great fun but also saves serious money. Are you available as consultants as I have many questions still?. Please don’t think I would consider paying you with a coffee or a croissant. Serious help is serious business. Very much like to hear! Kindest regards Ronald
