Jesse and I will be celebrating our 5 year wedding anniversary in July. To celebrate we decided to take an international trip this summer. There were many locations to choose from, but we finally decided to head to Italy. A few years ago, our friends Eric and Alyssa shared with us their love of Europe and some of their exciting travels. We decided to follow in their footsteps.
The gigantic leap was purchasing plane tickets. Our next step was determining an itinerary. After pinpointing where we wanted to be and for how long, we booked our lodging.
Our travels will take us to Venice (2 nights), Florence (2 nights), Cinque Terre (2 nights), through Pisa, Rome (4 nights), and back to Minneapolis.
We have been using Rick Steves’ Italy 2011 for travel and sightseeing information. We are nervous about the language barrier but very excited…is it summer yet?
So jealous! But so excited! I can’t wait to hear all about it!!
Yes, I thanked Eric today (sarcastically) for sharing with you and Jesse. I told him I was certain that if you guys weren’t going to Europe that you would be spending those 10 days in Neenah instead! Have fun anyway!!!
I am so so so glad you are taking this trip and I hope I get to see the pictures when you return! 🙂
