In fact, it was an episode of HHI in Italy that gave us the big idea of planning our retirement there...1160 days to go!<br /><br />Valerie - how many bedrooms in your "runner up" house?

Like I said, it's real because it recreated our story, but it is made for TV and therefore we had to do several takes and camera angles, etc. But, as Diana says, it's fun to from a voyeurism standpoint, to see what houses are like in other places.

I loved it. <br />I also knew it was fake. A smart person can tell.. So I was less interested in seeing the "choice" scene than I was snooping in all those houses. Loved it.

I loved your line... "a little *too* reality" I instantly had a mental picture of someone following me around with a camera filming my "Italian dream"- days filled with cooking, laundry, cleaning. Rince and repeat. Way TOO reality! HA! I enjoy reading your blog a lot and it Annehttp://www.theitaliandyes.comnoreply@blogger.com
