Wow! What a trip so far. The kids are having a great time. We are on our last day in Firenze and we are really enjoying it. Thank you for planning such a wonderful trip for us.

Alan & Lori DeSantis, from Kentucky, purchased our travel guidebook at a local Barnes & Noble…then called for trip planning advice, the rest is history…

Debra,

Wow! What a trip so far. We are on our last day in Firenze and we are really enjoying it. We are off to the Cinque Terre tomorrow and I am thrilled. We love the car. It has a GPS system (thankfully) and I really believe that it has saved our marriage...we don't do directions well together! We have named the British voice of the GPS system Winston the Butler.

Thank you for planning such a wonderful trip for us.

Ciao,

Lori and Alan

Hi again. We are in Venice now. The Antico Doge is great. The Cinque Terre was awesome. We only walked three towns but it was amazing (Riamaggiore to Corneglia). The kids are having a great time. Take care and we will talk to you soon.

Ciao,

Lori

Hi Debra,

Well, we made it back safely and had a fabulous time. Alan liked the cities best, I think Roma was his favorite. Abigail and I liked Siena as our overall favorite. The Hotel Garden was so wonderful. The grounds were nice, the pool was great, the view was amazing, and the staff was wonderful. James claims that he doesn't have a favorite place, but he had a lot of fun in the ocean of the Cinque Terre.

Thank you so much for all of your assistance. We really had a great family vacation!

Best,

Lori and Alan (Abigail and James too)
