    Central Italy (the Amalfi Coast & Tuscany): Bella Italia Meets Thread

    Our guides were Marco and James, who were both wonderful. They went straight from our Bella Italia trip to the June 18th Viva Italia. I thought the hotel in Sorrento was fantastic, and it was my daughter's favorite hotel anywhere, ever. It sits on a hill above Sorrento, and is very modern -...

    Is anyone else completely stressing out??!!

    RSM, how nice was that! I'm hoping that there will be a lot of gelato that is nut-free, because if my daughter cant eat the gelato, I swear she'll get on a plane and fly home herself! She is planning on living on pizza and gelato. Paddles, thats great that your son isn't allergic to almonds...

    airfare to europe this summer

    Anyone else having sticker shock??!! My daughter and I are going on the June 10th Central Italy trip and airfare from Denver is unbelievable. I was hoping to get a one-stop, especially on the way home, but we are looking at about $2,000 per person. I'm not sure if waiting is a good idea, but...

    Central Italy June 10, 2012

    Hi Paddles - glad to hear there are other folks going to Italy with us! Unfortunately i dont know any other people who are going, and I've been a little worried that we wouldn't have enough. Where are you from? We're from Denver. We are doing 3 days in Rome before the trip - can't wait!

    Central Italy June 10, 2012

    I think the heat will get worse in july and august, which is why we tried to schedule for as early in june as we could. I've been to Tuscany in May and it was beautiful, but even then, Florence was hot and crowded. So I would expect crowds in all the summer months. Not much you can do about...

    Central Italy June 10, 2012

    So excited! Booked the Central Italy trip for June 10th for my dd13 and I. Thanks for all the input, everyone. This trip just seemed like the best combination of activities, plus I have never been to the Amalfi coast. We are thinking about adding on a few days in Rome beforehand. Do you...

    Hi everyone!1 thank you so much for the gifts - they were wonderful and you all are so talented. We finally made it home - very long day at MCO - feels good to be home, but kind of sad, you know? I wish I could have rebooked on board, but with the economy, things are just too uncertain. We...

    Magic Menu's

    There was definitely lobster! And the lobster I received was much better than in either of my 2 prior cruises. Otherwise, the food was kind of meh. I thought the dishes were well conceived, but - just my opinion - over-sauced and under-spiced. Hope that makes sense. Palo brunch was...

    Oh, why are girls so hard??? and how come even though we were girls, we still don't know how to make it all easier!!! Ally made it all through 5th grade with 2 really good friends (yes, a threesome for a whole year - seems impossible, no?). Things were getting a little weird with the dominant...
