Okay....I have some news.

It's my understanding that our guides will be Dusty and Marco B.

Please understand that this is subject to change.

John and I have traveled with Marco B. before and he's terrific.

I understand that they have announced this on their Facebook pages.

Jeff,

The average September temps:

Rome Daytime average High 82 Evening Low 58
Florence 80 58
Venice 74 58

Not much rain but a higher chance for it in Venice. Average 10 hours of daily sunshine in Rome and 7 in Venice. In other words - gorgeous!!!

Laurie

Sounds perfect

Kevin .. Is Marco B the same Marco that we all had on our Italy Adventure in 2012 when we took the journey to the hill top we had Marco and Heidi ? Or is this Marco B the 'other' Marco???

It is my understanding that it is the "other Marco".

A bit shorter, a bit darker haired, but just as Italian.

We liked him just as much as "our Marco".

Orvieto ! I have been thinking a lot about the pottery shop and on the last trip - I popped in, took a quick look( it was crowded ) and said ..I'll be back! but I didn't and now that I have a chance to go a 2nd time ...I have been thinking and thinking about what do I need vs. what do I want

Kevin .. Do you know if they have pottery wine glasses? I purchased a set of traditional German wine glasses in Rothenburg and was wondering if they have ceramic wine glasses here? They would be both functional and cute

Reports that ABD is switching hotels in Venice. Hope that doesn't happen to us.

No need for worry.

We are at the Luna Baglioni.

I've been binge-watching Rick Steves' shows, and I got his Italian phrasebook and the 2014 version of his Italy guidebook today.

Now I need to curl up with a cappuccino and biscotti and start studying!!

I just looked at photos of this hotel. It's so gorgeous it almost made me cry!

Since there is planning afoot in Central Texas with 3 of our fellow adventurers (which is not me because I got left at home), here is a place where you can get Clothes with moneybelt-like features.

They have some Cargo Shorts on sale right now as well as Boxers with hidden pockets.

FWIW, The jackets come in handy if you want to take lots of stuff on an airplane and you do not have space in your carryon.
