I found Il Volo again 3 years ago. The first time we saw them was on PBS when they were just youngsters. My husband and I thought they were wonderful. Then we lost track of them. One day a few months after my dear husband passed away I was sitting and watching PBS again and who should appear but the youngsters again. But this time, young men, and I thought they had replaced the “chubby” one. Who knew Ignazio would turn into such a beautiful swan (a male swan is a cob) but that doesn’t do him justice. I then found this site and have been a follower ever since.

One more thing, my husband and I were married in Volos, Greece in 1961.

The boys have pulled me out of my “safe place”.  I had never flown anywhere alone before, but because I really wanted to see them in person, I forced myself to get online and book flights and hotels.  It was a great feeling of accomplishment. Especially going to Las Vegas and meeting such nice people from the Flight Crew.  I’ve done it again this year, 3 trips this time.  If I had not happened to see them on PBS that night I might never have seen them again and I probably would never have gotten the courage to travel alone. So thank you, to the young men of Il Volo from the bottom of my heart. 

I have traveled with my children, but I did this by myself.  Not bad for a 77 year old.  

Looking forward to seeing Marie in Detroit.
