Welcome to our newest adventure! Our entire family, along with the wonderful Rebecca Cribbs, arrived in Naples, Italy Dec. 21. We have explored the city, spent a day at Pompei, and also toured the Amalfi and Sorrento coasts. It’s been an adventure-filled 10 or so days, with lots of pizza. lots of climbing, and lots of fantastic Italian wine. And in a first for all of us, we ate Chinese food for lunch on Christmas Day, and pasta for dinner!

After much drama and stress using remote tele-health COVID testing, Jack and Rebecca return to Canada Sunday January 2, and we head to the ship for the Semester at Sea program. I’ll be teaching undergraduates international marketing and consumer behavior, with experiential elements designed around the countries on the itineraries.
