It has been a very long wait. I feel like I've prepared myself as best as I possibly could with learning as much Italian as possible. We have mapped out our destinations and the 17 Day trip will consist of 3 cities. Rome, Sorrento (Outside of Naples), and Venice.
We will be visiting family in both Sorrento and Venice so I really hope I know as much Italian as I think I do. As long as they speak slowly, I should be able to understand. I know I can ask for directions so that's a step ahead from where I was last time.
My goal is to embrace the Italian culture with Heather and my family and allow ourselves to get swept away in the traditional lifestyle that my ancestors lived. This trip will combine site seeing with relaxation and I'm happy in the way we decided to break up the trip. The chaos of Rome, followed by a week in southern Italy in Sorrento where we can relax, ending our trip in crowded Venice.
Time to get snacks and pick up a book.
Buon viaggio per noi! Arrivederci!
