Welcome To 4 Gals In Italy

The welcome mat is out and you are encouraged to come back anytime for updates on our Italian Adventure. I will post as often as I can at little Internet Cafes as we negotiate our way from Milan to Verona, Venice, Florence, Rome, Positano, Capri, back to Rome, back to Florence, with side trips to Piza and other delightful places to be decided as we go along.

To say we are excited is a total understatement. We have been planning this trip for seven months. Carol has done an excellent job of booking our plane reservations and all of our hotel, B&B, and apartment accommodations along the way. Cari has put together the itinerary for the first 16 days of our trip. She lived in Florence for 2 and 1/2 months while studying art history and knows her way around. She will be our guide and leader as we learn the ropes of traveling in a foreign country. She will be returning home on Oct. 20 to go back to school leaving Carol, Mom and me on our own until November 1.
