Trip to Italy

Posted by BoMToons - May 9th, 2008


I'm heading to Italy for the next 2 weeks (leaving Friday at 12:00) ! My old lady and I have been saving and planning this celebration of our 5th wedding anniversary for a while now. The winnings from various NG competitions, sponsorships, and the new in-game ads have made a lot of this trip possible, so thanks NG crew! I never imagined doing something I love as a hobby would pay off so well.

For those who don't know, both my wife and I lived in Italy for around 2 years before we met. We were there as LDS missionaries, then we met back in the states as Italian teachers at the same school. We've always wanted to go back since we love the people, food, culture, and speak the language, but this is the first opportunity we've had, so it's very exciting. We'll be staying at a bed and breakfast in Rome and taking day trips out to all the sites round about.

I'll be checking in on things every so often, and secretly working on sprites for the game I'm making with jmtb02. Shhh, don't tell my wife! When I get back I'll be coding up another epic game with Rog and Pox. But for the next 2 weeks I'll just be chillin' out and eating pizza and gelato every day!

Leave me your jealous comments.

Why don't you plan a trip to my homecountry Switzerland? It's the country north of Italy.

Enjoy your time in Italy... for when you get back, you shall never see the sun again until our work be done!

Gee, kinda makes you never want to come back again, eh?

Wow Italy! Have a great time! Also Pico Blast was amazing, great game.

Italy reminds me of pizza. And pasta. Mmm.

Congrats....and the leaning tower of Pisa is going to fall on the building next to it.

I went to Italy last summer. Stayed in a small villa on the edge of the mountains. Fantasic place. Saw the tower of Pisa, got a pic of me pushing it down (everyone takes a pic of them holding it up). Also went into the art gallery in Florence and it totally got flooded. Pressure from lightening shattered bullet-proof glass. Well, all I'm really saying is this: you will enjoy yourself. Guarunteed.

Italy? Oh snap, that's right next to me.

A few friends of mine are also going there really soon on a class trip, so you better look out for a bunch of crazy swedes ;)

well i hope youre leaving me an actionscript nanny to cover for you while you are on vacation.... these games aint gonna make themselves ya kno

So Jellll. Have a great trip!

Gratz!! I also wanna save up enough for a trip from my flash games :P I know what you mean by it being weird a hobby can make ya money for a job.

I'm so happy for you. Have a great trip.
