Pretty Awesome FART

 My wife and I just got back from a two week trip to Europe to celebrate our 30th Anniversary.  The entire trip was awesome.  We flew from Chicago to Zurich Switzerland, then on to Milan Italy.  We stayed 3 days in Milan and Lake Como.  Then on to Amsterdam, where we boarded the Costa Luminosa for a 10 day/9 night cruise to Cork Ireland, Vigo Spain, Lisbon Portugal, Cadiz Spain, Barcelona Spain, then Savona Italy.  We bused back to MIlan and flew home.

I had the energy and stamina to walk everywhere.  Each morning while on on the ship, my wife and I worked-out for 1 hour in the gym.   We saw parts of the world I will likely never see again, but sure would like to.

Did great with the food.  I ate what I wanted, stayed away from sugar and made sure I got in my protein.  I did not over-eat and in fact lost another 5 lbs while on the trip.

But here is the awesome FART...while in Milan, one of the Fashion Capitals of the world, we are walking down the Via Dante, a pedestrian street with stores and cafes.  We happen into this Men's store, where they are having an end of the season sale.  Buy 2 Italian made suits, 2 shirts, and 2 silk ties for less than what I would normally pay for one suit in the US.

At first I am skeptical, as it was oh so rare that I would ever find an "off the rack" fit for a suit.  My wife finds this very nice gray light wool.  The jacket fits me perfectly!  I then try the pants...It's like they were made for me.  She finds the second suit....same thing!  The way these suits were cut and they way I now am shaped up, 85 lbs lighter, it was amazing! 

So my souvenirs for the trip...2 great looking new Italian made suits.  I never would have dreamed this before!

Eating junk food and CRAP is not a reward...it's a punishment...
  it's a DEATH sentence...Reward yourself with Good Health!

Got a whiff of that one down here!  Soon enough you'll need to find somebody local to alter them!

Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!
