Great People, Great Trip

Time to treat ourselves. Our 25th Wedding Anniversary. I haven't been "off" from work for more than 2 weeks since my son was born, and he's now 20! For about fifteen minutes we considered taking a Rick Steves' "Best of Italy" tour -- but maybe we wanted one more night in Venice, and one more in Florence, and let's drop Cinque Terre for the Amalfi Coast and more time in wine country, and....Obviously, we were meant to do this trip independently. And it worked. Nearly three weeks. A total disconnect from home and work with immersion in an ancient country with a different lifestyle. There was so much to tell - don't overlook the travelogues: "Italy on our Own," and "Daytrip to Villa D'Este"

Pros:"The people are warm and friendly, the food is fantastic, and it is easy to get around."
Cons:"We have to take a transAtlantic flight to get there."
In A Nutshell:"Once you visit Italy, you may not want to plan a trip elsewhere!"

 Tivoli surely is the style of life in that time to savor. I have been twice and plan again soon. Thank for the tour.

 Tivoli means "I lov it." Spelled backwards. Wish I could visit Rome. I love Italy - Santa Barbara is like Italy because of it's architechure and weather.

 I think I'd like to eat with YOU in Italy! Well done! Don't you just love those long late dinners that finish with grappa?
