Beautiful pics, Jane! I'm so glad you went. How'd you fare on the plane ride? I know you were nervous about it but I figured you'd be okay once things got underway.
We're going to Italy in October and I can't wait! My mom was born in a little mountain town near Naples and I can't wait to visit her hometown.

Thanks for sharing the pics. My boyfriend is from Italy (came over to PA when he was 20 ). I can't wait to visit.

I did okay on the plane ride. I was extremely nervous on my first take off but I didn't make a scene! I did, however, about break DD's hand!! I had four take offs and landings since we made a connection in Munich, Germany going there and coming back. I do not like take offs at all, they make me nauseous! I am okay at cruising altitude and even the descent and landing doesn't make me feel as queasy as take off and ascent. I'll fly again though, it is indeed the only way to travel!

These pictures are beautiful! I was born in Italy and have only gone back once, back in 1984. It was the best experience I ever had. Wish I could go back.

Some of the food was very good and some of it wasn't so good. I had fabulous sangria in Spain and a very good seafood paella which I ate most of but couldn't take the octopus tenacles, I drew the line there !!! LOL.....
In Italy, the pasta was good. We definitely overcook pasta here (at least I do). I now know the proper way to cook pasta. I have some extra weight on me from the pastries, crossiants, etc. If you didn't eat this for breakfast, you pretty much went without because they don't eat eggs there for breakfast. Cereal, crossiants, jam, etc. I learn very quickly to ask for American coffee, their coffee is a very strong expresso that resembles diesel fuel!!! I swear that stuff could lift off the space shuttle. At the hotel in Florence, we did have eggs on our breakfast buffet but only to accommodate the Americans.
