After a year in the making, Bruce and I have finally made a decision about our trip to Italy. Last year, Bruce received a Christmas gift for his 25 years with the Bratney Companies. His gift was a trip to Italy. Bruce was in Italy for work in September 2014 and kept saying how much I would love it and he couldn't wait for me to go with him. We even got Christmas gifts for our trip last year.
We were initially going to go in the Spring but then we bought our house in Seattle. And you know the rest of story. Our life has been all about re-establishing ourselves back in Seattle since April. This month has really been our first month of feeling halfway back to normal. But we have been talking about it all this time. We decided on Rick Steve's Best of Italy tours so we went out to Edmonds to visit his store.
We talked to a tour rep. and signed up for September 2016. Now we are so excited! There was so much neat stuff at Rick Steve's store. I liked his packing cubes to organize your suitcase.
We are going to learn so much about traveling in Europe. I read his Italy book we got for Christmas but to be perfectly honest, it was overwhelming to me. So much to know.
That's when we started thinking about going on one of his tours. I know we could never have done Japan by ourselves without Nick and Sachiyo as our daily tour guides. Traveling abroad is a whole different level of vacationing. And I want it to be only positive, like Japan was. I can't wait to blog about all the food in Italy. It will be so amazing! Rick Steve, here we come. Now, teach us everything we need to know.
