My recent buying trip to Italy, adventures

Just got back from my semi-annual trip to scout out the newest in Boy's suits and place orders.

The Boy's suit stories follow, first the adventures.
Imagine landing at an Airport after a transatlantic flight and being told the ground crews would not let you deplane. That delay was 30 minutes.
Imagine showing up for a flight from Milano to Bari and being told Volare Airlines just folded, your flight and airline no longer exist. It was sure great to check into the Sheraton Nicholas Bari, my home away from home, I love the Hotel and everybody there, including the Venezia socccer team (see the photo of the team and me at boysitaliansuits.com).
At the end it all worked out because the Italians are great people, great friends and they make the most phenominal boy's suits and coats. While we discussed the usual variety of issues, it still came back to price, In my words, the Euro is too strong and they have to lower the price in order to stay in the Boys suit business. They agreed and we probably can hold our prices for another season, great news!
