I can forward the email chain if you give me your email address. We just went to the Italian consulate in Boston trying to get a long stay visa but they wouldn't accept the boat as a residence although this has been accepted at other consulates around the country. Back to just hoping they don't catch up with us. We do have three legal months because we were in Vermont all winter so Wanda could get a knee replacement. Headed for Greece and probably Croatia this summer although we may drive the camper up towards Germany at some point. Still hope we might get to meet up at some point, where do you expect to be this summer?
