Italy help at any time

i am off to italy tomorrow[fri]
first time in 10 years.
i eagerly look forward to it and hope they dont change it to spain at the last moment.
i assume there is much change.
i am wondering if the dust bowl at jayat is still there.
if so i wouldnt mind doing the sat nt/sun just for old time sake.

is there anything i dont know with regards the routiers.
i will go frejus,i always rathered it,and there was no motorways from chambery when i was using it last.
is anyone using the national 6 or is there a weight limit on it now.
when i was doing it fulltime,the goal was to pay as little tolls as possible,including tunnels,even if it meant going over the top.
now i dont think i can be bothered.i wil use autoroute,as a lot of people know,the irish companies 15 years ago didnt mind tachos so much,things have changed though.
i am having 24 now,the french are even into it now i am told.
i have forgotten alot but will book up pronto.
i probably wont be here to read the follow up to this unless i can get a computer over there
