Italy, Can't Wait

I know it's still a little less than two years away until my month long trip to Italy, but I have been doing a fair bit of research so far and I literally can't wait to go. Places like the Tuscany wine region, the Amalfi Coast, Venice, Florence.....etc just give me goosebumps when I do research on these places. Italy has always been my dream place to visit and I get very excited knowing that I will finally get to go there in less than two years.

Just seeing something like this in person will give me chills.

Sounds like a great trip! I absolutely loved Italy and look forward to going back someday. I was in Rome, Siena, Florence, Venice and Lake Como. The food was awesome, the wine excellent and sites to remember for a lifetime! Have fun!

Italy is filled with tradition & great culture. What you see there today is what was there hundreds of years ago, in the same Era as some of the great artists, architects, & sculptures of history. That's what makes Italy so special and one of the best places to visit!

indeed.

Might want to look into anorexia prior to your vacation.

That way you come back in shape instead of out of shape.

It will definitely be some extra work, there is no doubt about that. When we took her to the Dominican Republic last month she made out great flying. We just had to keep her occupied is all. Every time we ran into a little bit of turbulence she started laughing. But our Italy trip is almost two years away, so who knows, my wife and I might change our minds and want a romantic trip for two.

So I guess you never took you little one to Bora Bora eh? I want my daughter to grow up traveling and experience different places in the world......so I figured starting her young is the best way to do it.

Btw, I've looked at your Bora Bora pics numerous times and keep trying to imagine myself there. That place looks so beautiful.......just PARADISE!!

Dont worry about eating I spent many summers in Italy and lost weight due to all the walking, due to the $6 a gallon for gas. I am also going to Italy again this will be my 7th time. In July I am going to the Italian Riveria, I will be visiting San Remo, Monaco, Monte Carlo, Nice, and Cannes while staying in a small town called San Bartolomeo al Mare near Alessio.
