I have been in the travel industry for about 40 years, working both for the airlines as well as travel agencies, and have loved every minute of if! So many changes have taken place over that time, but the world still remains a wonderful, beautiful...

So, picture this – basking under the Italian sun, feeling like I stumbled into this magical storybook where every day's a new adventure.


Our Italian escapade kicked off in Rome, where ancient ruins and cool modern stuff coexist like it's no big deal. The Colosseum's got tales to tell, and the Vatican City's like an art jackpot – seriously, Michelangelo, you're a legend.


Florence was next, buzzing with Renaissance vibes. Art was everywhere – Uffizi Gallery, Accademia, you name it. And let's not forget the cozy trattorias where pasta's made with love, and local wines flow like it's a perpetual celebration.


Then, we hit the Tuscany hills, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. Sipping wine in Chianti felt like toasting to the good life. Venice was a whole different ball game – canals, gondolas, and St. Mark's Square with its fancy Basilica. Climbing the Campanile was like getting VIP access to the best views in town. 


Amalfi Coast was like a dream – each village was a burst of color against the cliffs. Positano was all about soaking up the sun on pebbled beaches and just letting the sea work its magic.


As our tour wrapped up, I couldn't help but soak in the memories. From Pompeii's historical wonders to the laid-back vibes of Verona, Italy was one big, beautiful patchwork of experiences. Whether it was sharing laughs over meals, swapping stories with locals, or just soaking in the Mediterranean vibe, every moment felt like a postcard-worthy memory. Italy, with its artsy charm, delicious eats, and all-around good vibes, left me daydreaming about the next chapter in this Italian love affair. Can't wait for the next round!
