A Little Closer to Home

Our last few trips have been to some pretty exotic locales, so when the opportunity came along to visit Italy we grabbed it.  Even if we don't speak the language, we at least recognize the alphabet and recognize items on the menu.  We also will have the opportunity to work with a legendary photographer, Joe McNally (Joe McNally).  Having visited Italy before, we know we will have great photo opportunities and the food's not bad either!

Since we're already paying for a ticket over, we've decided to go a few days early and spend some time in Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast.  If you have never been there it should be on your bucket list of places to go before you die.  I hope I'll be able to post photos that will do it justice.

After a few days on our own, we plan to meet up with our group in Florence.  When I mention this to friends, more times than not they say this is absolutely their favorite city in the world.  Florence (or Firenze as the Italians call it) is a manageable size city that packs a big punch.  The museums contain world famous art, the surrounded areas produce world class wine and the food is amazing.  We have some friends joining us that have never visited here and I can't wait to see their reaction.

So, settle back and join us for our adventure in Italy.
