I'll pass on the 'correct expression' admonishment, but you are right,
Eliezer, the it's better not to use words indicating finality.
'Ciao' like 'aloha' means both goodbye and hello, and is usually used
in colloquial speech as in "see you later" (a presto). Also in the
Venetian dialect means: 'your servant' (servo vostro)). So it seems
ok here.
